All I can say is Oy vey! I worked around cranes and heavy equipment all my working life. Was a certified rigger. A lot of what I saw in the video was stupidity to the 10th power..

I saw a very high stick crane go over in the Empire state Plaza site back in the 70s. I was working close but not part of that crane lift! That at the time was the worlds biggest construction project. With over 2,000 people on site no one was killed, definitely a lot of shit filled pants though! Also a hell of a noise.

Sounds like most of the video is from other countries or Tennessee.

I remember when they installed a new 1600 ton stamping press were I worked. A hole had to be cut in the roof and a big helicopter was used to pick the press up and set it down into the pit inside. It was cool to watch.
