    I think there is one video out there somewhere of the actual accident happening.

    Looking at the pix, I don't see any outriggers deployed. Operator should have sensed tipsieness. Oopsie!

    I have a funny feeling that the slated removal of the giant oak in my neighbor's backyard (see SWEET REVENGE thread) may have similar results--she said he hasn't been able to remove the oak up to now because he's getting a new crane--do those come with experience?

    Sure do!
    Might be a good experience or a bad one, but they come with experience!
