dbigtex56 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 On a more serious note, yes I enjoy seeing cranes.My father was a crane operator. While he was employed as such (circa 1950-1980) cranes lacked many of the refinements of modern heavy construction machinery. A couple of months ago, I sat on the balcony outside the food court at Houston Center, and marveled at the ease with which the operator controlled his machine. So far as physical effort goes, a five year old could have done his job. Modern cranes are controlled not much differently than video games.In my father's day, clutches and brakes were applied by sheer muscle power. There was no such thing as a flabby crane operator. Further, his strength was all that stood between life and death to those who depended on him. When tons of steel or concrete are being moved, precisely, there's no room for inattention or weakness.

Fringe Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Another one yesterday. Crane Topples in KingwoodDo you think it's a conspiracy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crunchtastic Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 That's what you get for having apartment complexes near cranes. It's all Metro's fault. And the Katrina People. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroMogul Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Don't forget the homeless. The Lyondell crane toppled over in fear after a homeless man was spotted panhandling around the plant. I bet the homeless man was a Katrina person who slept in an abandoned apartment complex and took Metro to the plant.

Vertigo58 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Another one yesterday. Crane Topples in Kingwood Do you think it's a conspiracy? There was another tip over of a large crane somewhere in Texas yesterday, thought for sure someone would post on here. This could become another craze like tipping over cows right?

It was in Smithville. One man dead. They were doing bridge work. Does seem like a lot lately. http://www.kxan.com/Global/story.asp?S=876...;nav=menu73_2_8 Edited July 31, 2008 by crunchtastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertigo58 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 (edited) Then there was the one up near Dallas? just Sunday or Monday that was lifting that church steeple to the top and it tipped over and of all places landed on a senior/elderly couple in their car. The poor man was killed instantly, it took an hour to get the lady out of the mangled mess. Big time law suit for sure.
