It's Falling

[asta315]

lol i get to go to that school. :D

[TheAssociatePastor]

@asta315 That's awesome. Hopefully it doesn't fall apart. lol. The investigation on the falling crane is still ongoing.

[jb1moore]

just watching the video but not being able to see the crane and it being winter I would bet there is a good chance the crane was setup on frozen soft ground. It's nearly impossible to determine good hard ground in the winter and with a heavy lift like that when you find out something is wring it is way to late. I also noticed he picked the panel way up in the air to pin the braces. We stopped doing that a long time ago. Pull the braces back with a lull.

And I'm a very proud Nova Scotia Ironworker. To the folks that dis us; try a day in my flat soled shoes.

[ironpenner]

Thanks for the recognition. I love my trade and I am glad that I can build structures that people can use day in and day out for many years.

[TheAssociatePastor]

@ironpenner

You're welcome. I am with you there. Before my present job, I worked in Masonry and that was hard work. I appreciate those that work outside more now.

@MattTrecartin

Thanks Matt for viewing.

[rcb4554]

probably could have sold this because they have to do an investigation and this will sure help in that

[weeman9691]

im going to that school when it finished

[TheAssociatePastor]

@weeman9691

Really? It's gonna be a nice one when it's done.

[joshuad2d]

Curious what was happening to make you bust out your camera? Because the first couple minutes was nothing really happening

[TheAssociatePastor]

@joshuad2d

Every once and awhile I taped the walls going up. This time I just 'happened' to get the crash.

[TintStuff]

hahahaha i love crane fails!!

[Smirks45]

Excellent response cab6268! Lets see the people who are leaving rude comments on here try to drive just one of those pieces of heavy equipment!!! and as you said cab....they are hard working honest men and women... thank god no one was hurt in this accident!! Pretty sad when people get their thrills out of watching accidents!!

[cab6268]

@Smirks45 well the way i see it warlockbass2010 directly insulted me along with every hard working Nova Scotian out there... sorry but that just don't sit well with me, maybe that person would like to go to this job site and tell the workers there what he thinks.... I'm glad some people still know common courtesy

[TheAssociatePastor]

@cab6268

Good point. The workers here are hard workers. The crane crash did not have anything to do with how hard the workers worked. Nova Scotia has some of the best workers in the world!

[chuck738]

@TheAssociatePastor Maxim is out of Halifax,AW Leil is out of New Glasgow.

[cab6268]

@warlockbass2010 I'm construction worker and I know sometimes you can't prevent these things so next time you feel like insulting honest, hard working men and women you had best come on down and say it to our faces and when you leave you'll be just a little bit uglier when we're done. But i do like how you say "work force" because it tells me and everyone else that that you don't work you probably sit in front of a computer all day and draw well-fare that the "work force" pays for you lazy slob

[Runaka]

lol pwned

[CDreams]

*sniff sniff* I smell fish.

[daveracen]

Does anyone know who owns the crane?

[jordps22]

Piece came down, the crane came down.... And I got it on video tape. Haha thats awesome. Great Video.

[TheAssociatePastor]

@jordps22

Thanks. Haha. It was a shocker.

[Rik87Cavalier]

yea just drove by there today and seen it flipped on its side...amazing someone got it on video

[angelagoudey]

This is CRAZY! Was anyone hurt???

[TheAssociatePastor]

@angelagoudey

Nobody was hurt. Thank God!

[TheAssociatePastor]

@angelagoudey

Nobody was hurt. Thank God. Thanks for viewing.

[theneedhams]

And they're being awfully secretive about what happened too. I live in Yarmouth where this happened and the local media haven't been able to get a word out of the construction company. Sort of makes you go "hmmmmm". You were lucky to catch that....have you contacted the media to see if they're interested?

[TheAssociatePastor]

@theneedhams

There is still an investigation on the event. I was 'lucky' to catch that. What a shocker. I've been in contact with the proper authorities.

[ironpenner]

Being an Ironworker and using cranes on a daily basis , this gives me realization of how quick something can drastically go wrong. So glad that no one was hurt. It could have been a tragedy.

[TheAssociatePastor]

@ironpenner

You are wise to realize this lesson. All the best to you.

[TheAssociatePastor]

@ironpenner

You guys are hard workers. Hats off to ya. It is a dangerous job and it is a wise thing to realize that anything can happen on the jobsite.

[LogieBear21]

Its quit a coincidence that this person was just video taping it as a panel was being put up, when all of a sudden the crane gave out. Great video :)

[TheAssociatePastor]

@LogieBear21

Thanks. It was a shocker. I've been taking pics of the process and thought I would video it that day. The rest you can see.
