Hopefully no one was underneath that.

@jamesandrew2000 Sorry. I wasn't aware that Vin Diesel was the new Chuck Norris. I shall have to polish up on my pop culture. You young whippersnappers are so savvy.

@BlackAeronaut Dude, where's your brain? The next video you see that is obviously real, and some guy makes a comment about how fake it is, that person is most likely fucking around. Also, mentioning Vin Diesel or Chuck Norris is usually the clue.

@jamesandrew2000 Dude, where's your sources? VD is not working on such a film. The closest we get is his praise for the 1954 Marlon Brando film. Second: destructible sets. This kind of wholesale destruction is not usually seen in films because... well, you're breaking it. That's expensive. Miniatures, like the ones used in Terminator 2 are much cheaper to destroy and look just as good. Or, you can go CGI. Pull the other one, pal, this was a genuine accident.

I'm not aware of the correct time limit placed on safe cable use,..esp in ship loading cranes. My knowledge of cable use limits relates to 1950's-60's truck mounted "wrecking ball" style of crane.

I guess what I'd like viewers to understand, if they don't, is that load-lifting devices require routine inspections,..the hinge pins, bearings,..cables etc have to be replaced before their "useful life" has passed, to increase safety.

@RetroCaptain crane cables used for 100 hours or lifts? Not likely as a good operator can acheive 30+ lifts an hour wether it be twin 20's or a single 40 footer.

hi kren da reput la...aku pun keje kat port..

[mirigga]

obviously its not faulty cable cause the cable helped bring it down. I agree with the snag affect.

guys standing there "Man I wish that !@#$% crane operator would just follow my signal"

this is why we need one certification globally. so everyone is doing it the same way hopefully the safe way.

the safest way is the way with the lowest risk involved.

so what if it creates three more job positions for each contractor. in the long run the risks out weigh the cost potential.

For the record this was a movie stunt. Its a remake of 'On the waterfront' staring Vin Diesel. Nobody was hurt. Opening in select theaters this fall.
