\"Big Blue\" collapse in Milwaukee

This morning I was trying to get hold of Lance Wallace so I googled him. Take a look at the website I found:

The two guys that filmed the OSHA video were from NJ. Tough thing to watch.

I was talking to one of the operators that we use alot. He had some insight on the wreck. There were many osha valialations going on at the same time. Winds were high,plus the two riggers were under the load and thats a vialation. They are suposed to go to the load after it was in place.

Watch the video and you'll see the guys who lost their lives when their crane basket was struck by Blue. It's horrifying. /forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif

When I tried to down load either video (the OSHA one and the Touch TMJ4 one) I got a page that said that that page (the video) was not available.

How did you get it to play?? Can you supply a link here?

Thanks.

I ran into the same dead end and found http://craneaccidents.com/bigblue.mpg (13MB). Visit the site (minus the "bigblue.mpg") and there's a slow-motion version available to those who are willing to sign up or whatever they require. I wasn't interested enough to check it out.
