Marlborough, MA crane accident

[TreeLogic]

No shirts and smoking while being interviewed. Monkey men indeed. Looks like one house was damaged a little. Glad no one was hurt. Go big or go home....or....flip the crane

 

[treehumper]

Damaged a little until the bill comes in. If I was the homeowner I'd be calling for a full inspection to make sure all the damage is identified and repaired. It would suck if they only fixed the visible damage then found out there was foundation problems too.

I love the girlfriend that comes on- and how he gets praised for landing boom between 2 houses.

Boy he really threaded the needle there. Truly a golden god of a man,( not just the tan) takes a real skilled op to miss the houses while dumping the crane. Reflexes of a cat. I loved the shot of the two numb nuts walking shirtless away from a truck like some kinda conquering heroes of idiocy.

 

[classictruckman]

Yeah when the climber said he trusted him with his life I was thinking "man you need to make better life choices."

 

[macswan]

No No, don't stop him.

 

[Treeweasel]

I don't see a hoisting license under his name.

You do have to ask the question who hires a company called monkey man tree service? Should we transition into ridiculous company names. We suck a&& tree service or, you can't take us seriously tree service.

Right. There are businesses out there where a humorous or goofy name is fine. IMHO, a tree service is not one of them. We need to instill confidence in the customer with our company name.

Is it me or does it look like they got cocked waiting for the camera crews? I'll be posting this to my website as a warning for the bottom feeders on what you get with cheap and stupid.

That's what I was talking about. Cigarettes to cover the fuming breath. At least the monkey man himself. Not good.

It was hot. I would guess they were "hydrating" most of the day before they rolled it

Word on the street is that Monkey Men came into existence on funding provided by a Workers Comp settlement, when the now owner (then employee) cut out a piece he was tied into.

my boyfriend worked for them quit a month ago. The crain was put together using old parts from an old truck. The owner dont have CDL or hoisting license. The owner did start company with settlement from old accident and is fucked up on perks and other pain medacine. He also deals drugs out of his trailer. No other workers have lisenses to drive the trucks, or even cars. When the boom breaks thers no control over where it goes so Rob didnt "save any lives" and is NO hero. The sink hole showed up after the truck tipped over cuz he was lifting too much weight. I hope that OSHA shuts him down so nobody gets killed!!!

Um, thanks for posting. Sounds more like the real thing. People like this are a danger to themselves and others, beware.
