As the story goes the bolts came in for it...

    Vancouver fatality

    Pay attention to the awakenings section, once you realize that the postings in there are only a fraction of the accidents in this industry you'll know how dangerous it really is.

    You're crazy, we've got a crane we bought for $500k, it doesn't even bring in that much per year, is it worth it? Yes it makes th payments on all the other equipment that doesn't bring in its fair share.
