Just goes to show that all the hard hats and safety vests don’t compare to extensive training, apprenticeships and experience. A Jack of All Trades and a Master of None comes to mind watching these videos.

Judging by the time elapsed between that excavator falling off the crane, and the crash which followed, I'd say that hole was pretty deep

I love the way the dude is telLing his bruh 5:00 “just boom down, you’ll be fine!” Second later “damn only if he hoisted down instead faster” LOL

Everyone talking bout the first one but the true horror are those huge cranes just randomly crashing into houses

When you fell a tree it’s important that you have your car next to it, you know … to lighten turf damage

Damn theres a lot of undertrained drivers and riggers floating around out there..all these cranes have alarms on them if the load is too heavy.....or should have..

At the beginning of the video These are the type of guys that say I've been around the job for a long time I know what I'm doing. Or they're just incompetent and Stuck on Stupid but I'm sure they know everything until one day they got checked

This is what happens when people don't know what they are doing. I've worked in construction 30 years and never had anything like this happen. Know how much the load weighs. Use rigging rated for whatever your lifting. I always used rigging rated much higher than the load we were lifting. Use tag lines. You don't want to lift something 15 story's in the air over people on the ground and take a chance of the rigging breaking. We always used red danger tape to tape off the lifting area and posted people around the lifting area to make sure no one went through the red tape. You definitely want a qualified crane operator that knows the lifting capacity of the crane. You also want the person doing the rigging know what they are doing
