I was in the downtown area as the back end of hurricane Ike was moving through Houston. I captured video of a downtown construction crane near the Hilton of Americas spinning in the wind. I thought for sure it would collapse.

  • @dfreyta if you leave the brakes on you should not touch a tower

  • @dfreyta alright put the brakes on and then u see what hapens

  • if they lock that crane. it would bend and collapse

  • no you are wrong we leave the brakes on so that dose not happen.

  • Just a heads up for you. The breaks are left completely off when putting crane in weathervane.

  • yes, it's called weathervane

  • just to let you know they put the "brake" on about %60 so the mast goes with the wind. its meant to do that.
