I saw that coming. A roofing company here in town recently had a crane failure. There crane is very simular to ours around 17 ton. They were lifting a bobcat onto a flat roof witch they do all the time. About a week ago during the lift the bolts on the pedistal failed and the boom rested on the building. The bobcat slamed onto the roof. They ended up renting a large crane to lift the entire boom off of the truck. No injuries.

That's what I asked Tom. And another thing, why not place the second outrigger down? Either way it wasn't brilliant. Way too close to the edge!

My Mom found this page, the origin of the pics:

She thinks that pic #9 has been doctored, what do you think?

I think she is correct. The crane in the drink is the same pic as #4

There isn't any reflection of the big crane either.
