" at what point did someone think this is a good idea"
That is so stupid, how did they expect to remove the top without having it fall down on you?Yeah, you have to wonder how the operator expected to get away with that.
I'd be interested in speculating though--other than going and getting a bigger machine, was there any good way of getting out of that situation? What would you have done? (Other than turning in your resignation, that is...)
Well at that point there wasn't a whole lot that could be done. Somebody should have figured they didn't have a big enough machine and demoed it topdown with a couple of minis and push all the stuff down the elevator shaft. Then when the part of the building that was obviously to tall for the hoe was gone go about business as usual.
Anybody see the op blow half a dozen hoses trying to get his stick(s) out of the pile? The weird part is he made a good decision and shut the machine down after the fall, but then started it back up and went cowboy on it. I have a feeling the boss man jumped in the seat trying to save the day. It also may have even been his idea to go at the building this way.
