This happened some time back, I think.. The crane operator is still in hiding.

He's gotta come out sometime ...

That's the problem with cranes...they're operated by folks with an 8th grade education but require 10th grade math to calculate max weight vs. max extension.

Apparently the crane was on soft ground. That was only 8th grade- but not required in the vocational curriculum.
