Horrible Crane Accident

[l1ve2fastdie4fun]

Had nothing to do with the crane, the crane was solid, if you look at the wind sock the winds were way too high, one of the three operators it took to run that things said no way and a company man ran the machine instead. Cranes aren't meant for side loading on the boom, which is what happened when the wind blew the section being lifted, the company wanted to lift it anyways, it could have been avoided.

[MazJax]

0:46 OMG THAT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION THAT MEANS THE CRANE WAS BROUGHT DOWN BY BOMBS, EVEN THOUGH NO TRACES OF BOMBS WERE EVER FOUND, AND THE MOST PLAUSIBLE ANSWER WAS THE BOLTS COMING APART, BUT I'M STICKING TO MY BOMB THEORY BECAUSE IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION!

"cleanup in aisle 3"

[dipstick3031]

Amazing camera work! Most of this kind of videos end up with the camera man waving the camera everywhere but on the action. Big compliment for him. Sorry for the lives that got lost.

[JBlondes24]

the crane was MADE IN CHINA thats why!

[jezus22]

fucking hell

Sweet baby jesus christ in a rompers suit

[sjkelleyusarmy]

there were 3 steel workers in the red crane in a hoist bucket that got killed when the crane toppled.

[Oli92Technik]

what manufacturer was that crane? damn shit!!

[MrFreeori]

Skip to 0:49

[Edward0169]

This accident was the cause of someone not putting together everything needed before lifting this heavy object. The wind speeds were too high to keep the heavy object in the air for a long period of time. No one got the wind speeds in the open air above the stadium.

[frostedlambs]

lol someone got fired

[drdka123]

An architect's worst fear.

@103cubicinch Your spelling is pityfull lol...

[monkeyman822]

shit!!!!!

[xxphuzyxx]

At points in my life iv thought to myself "man iv really fucked up this time" but this gives me assurance that i could have fucked up a whole lot more.

[ArmyIsForever]

@tj526 of course you can't see anyone got killed. Do you know just how big miller park is? Inside and out? Lemme tell you I go to games every season, the stadium is massive. Lots of areas where workers were in the way

[eden20111]

How many ppl lost their lives cuz of that? Wasn't it like 10,000?

[89tutur]

amazing!



[MrStahl13]

wow.

[ali0503]

Three words

fuck

fuck

fuck

[sjtom57]

Why do these terrible events always bring so many dickheads out of the woodwork? R.I.P.

[iShopatTesco2]

Is it me or do you see the men fall from the bucket?

[MysticKnight38]

@iShopatTesco2 You did.... they died

[N33DL3R]

@iShopatTesco2 You can see them.

[MrHobiecat]

I would investigate the guy with the video camera, who 'just happened' to be filming the lift when the crane mysteriously failed.

[cascist]

@MrHobiecat O great. Another conspiracy theorist. The world could always use another one of you losers. You must have an orgasm when your watching shows like destroyed in seconds. Its full of "conspiracies" like this one

[MrHobiecat]

@cascist after reading most of the comments, the guy with the camera was from OSHA. He was called because the primary crane operators refused to lift the load. He did not have the balls to stop the lift, but he was convinced there was enough danger that he better get it 'on film'.

I was right, it was HIS JOB TO STOP THIS FROM HAPPENING, and he KNEW IT WAS NOT SAFE.

THATS why he was filming it.

[Emilyislovely]

OMG just imagine being up there, falling down would be horrendous!

[rocafella142]

@Emilyislovely The people that died weren't up there. The crane fell on them. They were in a bucket lifted in a smaller crane that got crushed.

[TBwassup]

@MrHobiecat

Lmao, youtube people are so lame.

"You are a nigger". Like for real, get a hobby, get some friends, get a life. You sound stupid.

We're in 2011, incase you didn't know.

[SpecialAndNotDumb]

wow that was awesome , just aswell no one died

[nmonkman]

Oh and BTW, just a little FYI on some of the other posts here. The BOSS had nothing to do with any crane operation. The CRANE OPERATOR has full responsibility and FULL AUTHORITY to deny or refuse any pick for any reason. I am not talking about this pick, I am talk about all picks in general.

[nmonkman]

I was there about 200' behind that camera. I was in the area looking over a new project at the airport there and got invited to the site to watch the pick. Terrible.

[JayWilliamThompson]

when these kind of videos load i pray i don't get rick rolled, now i kinda wish i did :(

[NCTClion1684]

That metal twisted like it was made of legos

[wesjohncody3]

Somebody got fired...

[krisizcelja]

this is so cool but is danger

[1overthehillsfaraway]

not fake! the brewers suck! all these lives and dollars to build a fucking baseball stadium from taxpayer money.

[morganbowman]

The pick was within the crane's capacity for this configuration. At that time however, there were no "real" calculations for the effect the wind would have on a the load. This accident was a major factor in revolutionizing the safety standards for the industry. Also know that in an accident like this there is rarely only 1 person to blame. Thee original operator KNEW the crane couldn't handle it.

[fuunguus]

@Breakthrough501 What the fuck dude. Owned by a crane? How does that work? That is like if I get killed by a stupid bug in a game, that isn't being owned you noob.

[tomebaden]

It looked like there was more than a crane falling there

[newjerseygirl13]

@Breakthrough501 Not really.

[mrhozer]

If you ever hear a sound like that coming from a crane, you should be running for your life instead of staring at it!

[Citzen92]

thats a fucking titan !

[newjerseygirl13]

@Breakthrough501 Wow, It means the same thing.

[verTuos1]

lol wow if people cant tell if its fake or non fake from watching a real footage video maybe shouldnt be commenting. but yes this is sad and scary to be there.

[newjerseygirl13]

@Breakthrough501 How can you say that? People lost their lives and you're making jokes?

[1xskaterguyx11]

after what i just saw im gonna quit my engennering class

[MrMiturbenisderty]

@1xskaterguyx11 just don't quit your spelling class

[1xskaterguyx11]

@MrMiturbenisderty I just have problems with Long words.

[MrRiggersrus]

rip guys sincere condolences to all family members and friends

[ivanfink1]

Yes, horrible accident! Are there death?

[MegaBigbonus]

FAKE: MAQUETTE

[MysticKnight38]

@MegaBigbonus Its not fake three men died in that accident they were in bucket on the smaller one acting as spotters. There is a memorial at the stadium in honer of their death. BTW the cause of the accident was wind shear on the roof piece. Next time do some research before you say fake.

[seattlehawkins]

@MysticKnight38 Fake.

[MysticKnight38]

@seattlehawkins Say that to the families of the three that lost their lives asshole.

[seattlehawkins]

@MysticKnight38 They had hoped it was niggers too.

[MysticKnight38]

@seattlehawkins Sure I get called a racist while a lil troll like you get to spew shit like that... go figure..

[seattlehawkins]

@MysticKnight38 Lighten up frenchy LMAO Go Canucks!

@MysticKnight38 fuck the canucks bitch sharks all day!

[MysticKnight38]

@SantaneroXIV wtf are you even talking about.... try engaging mind before opening your mouth next time

[sk8tafrnk]

@MysticKnight38 fake and gay

[MrMarkingston]

@sk8tafrnk your gay

[twoule]

Respond to this video...

Sir, I say this with the utmost respect and deference - but this is clearly the fakest and most gay thing I have ever seen, bar none.

[1jacjo9ti]

@twoule How about you give me your phone number, and a family member of one of the men that lost their lives that day can call you to confirm the realness. This was a result of unsafe construction practices, fuel by corporate greed and the desire of independent wealth. Which KFC do you work at? I'll come up, buy you a leg or two and we can talk ignorance and the damage it does to the people and the planet.

[faiz434]

that guy is LUCKY that the crane didn't fell TOWARDS him

[tj526]

i didn't see anybody die!!!!!! just looks like a video from failblog......

[FlyingLizardRg]

@dyingmau and jammed

1999 Miller Park in Milwaukee, three ironworkers were killed. The whole incident was well ...

[Jammed9000]

people died in that?

[ownerfate]

@Jammed9000 yea 2 of them where in a small bucket on a nother crane in side the building the large structure crashed down on the 2 men in the bucket i dont know what happen to the other 1.

[dyingmau5]

wow no one here knows where or when this happened, not even those who uploaded the video

[notanythingful]

@dyingmau5 I believe it was in Texas. The crane name was Big Blue. I imagine you can look it up. It was a terrible accident that should never have happened.

This is a grim reminder that construction deadlines and corporate greed disregard us all.

Some of the iron worker who were suspended below the rigging were killed in this accident

The regular operator refused to do the lift because he knew that there was too much wind and side-load that day so the corporate pigs called in a temp to do it.

[ownerfate]

@dyingmau5 they said it was a presser point on Big blue at the base of the crane and the sheer weight of the massive roof structure it was too much for the 1 crane to handle the cause is weight and some faulty welding on the crane. cause theres another vid on youtube on this in more details i got what i saw from it and typed it to u some of it may be wrong but the wight of the roof is 1 major cause

[zinger183]

First off learn how to spell. Before I begin I would like to mention that I am a collision expert. The result that transpired on that day was the reason of a combination of overlooked (Crucial) critical details that need to be taken in to consideration when constructing a stadium. First and for most you need to establish a foreground. That foreground is the plan as to how the structure will be constructed.

[zinger183]

Piece by piece ever portion of this phase must not be forgotten. Every time you add something you must take into consideration the weight, size, shape and its relation to another part of the structure. i.e. the foundation or a tier platform normally meaning the add-on to a non-single story building. You may have the most strongest peice of material but that material may be the weakest, if the added structures weight can over come its stability.

[zinger183]

In this case, the crane was not a sufficiant assistant for the previousely structured add-on. Word from the wise..... Like I said, You must remember what lies underneith. wether it be the equipment you use or the portion of the fixed structure that is being added to. For if you dont horrible consequences may occur.

[zinger183]

Not only was the crane insufficiant in regardes to durability but the positioning of the crane was not adequate for the task that was poorly and carelessly performed. Faulty welding on the crane was not the problem! It was the mistake of the contractors.

[zinger183]

They failed to examin the structure from all angles with depth. The three that lost their lives. My condolences. The fault lies with their onsite bosses. Dont ever get into something that has not been looked at from every angle and every possible mathamatical equasion. Big or small you might cost someone their life and right to call it a day and go home..........................­...? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

[michaelsterling37]

Havin a bad day?

[Petchanatz]

i'm ok with

Dustpiggy17

[PInk77W1]

ever notice how these crane accident videos never involve picking up a small thing!

Big Crane, Small thing, no youtube video........ Big Crane, Big Thing, youtube video.

if only people could think.

[PInk77W1]

Y such a small piece? Nice place to start a junk yard

[atomicbomb747]

0:54 to skip to the accident

[PInk77W1]

@jasuem what was your first clue?

[slyrader1]

man should stick with building mud huts

[Videomakera]

lol

[CT8655]

What made it collapse ? I heard screeching, was that the breaks on the winch giving out ?

[hager999]

@CT8655 Yup

[maxr2250]

@CT8655 Wind, on the piece and the boom caused severe side loading which a crane is not designed to handle. That coupled with the immense weight of the vertical load (which was in fact within capacity) caused the dynamic loading that brought this rig down...... I believe a few operators refused that particular lift that day because of the high winds. Unfortunately one didnt.

[trustom654987]

im sure that didnt cost them any money at all.....

[Dustpiggy17]

R.I.P to those that died that day, a kick in the balls to the bastard that sent them up there

[mrhozer]

@Dustpiggy17 They were just doing their jobs, no sense in blaming their boss. The equipment failed and there is not much you can do about that, though they should have inspected it first, or got a second crane to help support the weight.

[HillbillyRedneck1973]

@mrhozer It's not an equipment failure. Doing an inspection wouldn't of resolved the problem. The investigation in that particular case was the wind! The wind made the crane tip, the operator of the crane shouldn't of made that lift and yes the BOSS is to blame when you direct and instruct workers to do a task therefore you are responsible of their health and safety along with the outcome. Do your homework little fellow and start reading about safety and responsibilities at the workplace.

[FatAssNigga97]

@Dustpiggy17 you think someone did this?

[Bretse]

I don't see how people laugh and make fun about something like this. This accident killed some people, what's funny about this??? I am sorry for their families but I'm almost more sorry for unintelligent, dumb, disrespectful people because they can cause so much damage with their stupidity! Everybody who is laughing about this need to start doing something with their lives, start with going back to school and learn something.

[Bretse]

I hope you all will never have to watch someone you love die and see others laughing about it! How ignorant can someone be? That explains why we have so much cruelty going on in this world, nobody cares anymore, people are just cold. Very sad.

[spikydipple]

@Bretse well said mate.

[zachtac]

@Bretse yeah, its the fact that this video is even PREFACED where the guy says people died from this ! that makes its pure stupidity for someone to laugh and heartlessness

[PInk77W1]

@zachtac laughing is not stupid, picking up 450 tons in the wind, that is stupid.

[princessfbi]

Cool, wreck more cranes. That was nice video but too short.

[holdhome]

Someone died in this accident

[AgencyOfChaos]

EPIC

[blAz3rd00d]

@AgencyOfChaos How is 3men dieing because of this 'Epic'? .. Some people.

[blastmetalguy]

what a hell of a day to bring your camera!

[1116dircks]

@ bayowolf. The guy filming this was actually from OSHA. That crane was called big blue the largest on the continent. The reason OSHA was there was because the operator would make the lift but the super running the job pressured him to do it anyways. He called OSHA hoping the could shut down the lift but they could not. So they documented it in case. That's how we have this footage. It was the highest construction death payout ever to the families due to gross negligence.

[MrHobiecat]

@1116dircks so the idiot from OSHA was concerned enough to shoot video, but not enough to stop the lift?

Also, I notice he stood UPWIND from the crane.

Its better to lose your job than to kill someone else.

[TheBishop12]

I'm gonna miss nothingtoxic.

[bay0wolf]

Staged if you ask me... No one stands near a crane and video tapes it for nea reason...

[surrynet]

@bay0wolf  what no apology ,for writing before asking why this accident was caught on tape?.

[bay0wolf]

@surrynet Yea I'm sorry some dude has 2 million views for uploading a video. What the hell would i be sorry for?

[77moessa]

that dog barking like that must have known that was going to happen. maybe it was trying to say- its gonna fall mate????
