I get a call this morning for my oldest ,The Crane Operator . " I'm sick to my stomach right now " .. That brought my Radar around to full focus . My crane is laying over with the boom bent in 3 places . My heart sank for a moment .
As it turns out , his machine didn't have a job today and the boss had another outfit come out to do a 3rd party inspection on it . Kid was just getting in the truck to go help another guy out on another job . He saw it hit the ground . Outside outfits mechanic was in the seat . No one hurt however the crane is down for the count . Boom bent in 3 different places . no pictures yet .
He sure knew how to wake me up this morning .
Heads up gents , This work can kill you .
