    In a sad note, the crane operator's underpants did not survive.:(

    Wow, a friend of mine lived on that same street a while back. But that wasn't his yard.

    For sure I'd bet that made a big bang when it toppled over. Glad it was no worse than it was but it will no doubt cost some bucks getting the crane back on it's wheels and any repairs that are necessary. Then there is the property damage but thankfully it was not much.

    Ouch. That's going to hurt the profit margin on that job.

    Now that is what I call having had a bad day. At least it seems it can all be fixed.

    Not too bad, not so good, surely someone could have been killed, in that respect I think it was a lucky day
