    Bucket truck parts

    Bad Day

    I dont know much about this one. It has been all over the news up here. I like the shiny, unscratched construction type hard hats on the crew. Draw your own conclusions. I googled the company to find miserable reviews. http://turnto10.com/news/local/crane-crashes-into-north-smithfield-house
