How scarey is this? Crane Collapse in New York

My thoughts go out to the families of those who have lost their lives and are injured.

Was watching one of these cranes in the recent high winds last week, you could see the sway in it whilst referencing it against a stationary object, no wonder it wasn't working that day!

You'd never have a chance to get away from something so huge crashing down unexpectedly, terrible event.

Have you ever been up to the cab? You need really strong sphincter muscles, even when there's no wind! It's not a job for the faint-hearted.
