because i called my best friend a f^g
anyhow, i am sure it is operator error and i bet the wind might have had some play in it.
as a 30 hour OSHA certified professional, it will be interesting what happens.
i hate that things get deleted when we are only having fun

I have a good friend that works for that particular GC. But not on that site. When I hear some good public info I will let you know. Sad though I called him last night about the crane accident down town. He said it was a block from him.
I am sure glad our crane is gone.

what happened ? DL and I lost valuable posts.  Big man keeps knocking us down.  We'd have a solid 50k by now if they would quit kicking the ladder out from under us.

http://www.star-telegram.com/state_news/story/769131.htmlwatch out if you are around anything but mobile cranes maybe even those 1 guy not tightening his bolt, not making sure something really snapped shut, or just plain dumb. that is the problem here.

I was in NYC the day after that big crane accident killed 7 or 9 people. Seems that they have found some crane inspector on the take. I guess some construction companies are more concerned with deadlines than safety  imangine that.

It seems since the two in NYC all of a sudden they are happening almost every week.
Is it operator error or are the cranes getting old enough that parts are breaking because preventative maintenance has not taken place?

river rat
i respect you OSHA experience
i built wood roller coasters for Dinn Coaster Corp for 4 years.
along with cellular experience 8 years.
i was on hand for 4 crane accidents & 3 of them were rigging errors.
i guarantee you that in NYC the accidents will be found to be caused by not bracing the tower of the crane correctly .
i have seen 2 cranes tump over before they ever made a pick. the outriggers were jacked up. they were set up buy guys with litle experience. the prima donna operators would not even get out & look at what was about to happen to them.
i bet i have been invoved in at least 2000 crane picks
i just think that there are lots of guys who don't have a clue, involved in major responsibilities now.
i respect the Granbury flathead record more though Are you bragging or beotching? I have been involved in at least 2001 crane picks and 300+ helicopter picks so I must be smarter and better at it then you right?
