That's one hell of a X-mas tree that guy has in his yard.

Other people's anger makes me happy.

I'm a very, very bad person for laughing so hard at that guy's profanity.

The calls are coming from the operator -- and that's not anger. That's the anguished cry of a man who knows his career and livelihood have just ended. Maybe the accident was his fault, I dunno, but it doesn't bring me any joy.

These rich fucks will sue the crane company, and between that and insurance they'll get all of their money back plus some. The ultimate loser here will be the operator. He's fucked for life and he knows it.

Even after re-watching this several times it's hard to tell exactly what transpires. I'm pretty sure though that you can hear the operator yelling before the first crunching sound.

My conclusion so far is that the operator begins to yell as he feels the back end of the truck lifting up off the ground, followed almost immediately by the arm crashing through the roof of the garage. If that's the case, then this may be the result of mis/poor calculation of the torque this thing would exert instead of a failure of part of the crane. If so, the operator really is fucked.

According to a news article the crane company is blaming it on a "computer error", whatever that's supposed to mean.


Billy the Poet - 2011-06-25

Almost certainly there is a computer program that they use figuring how much weight can me held at what angle and distance from the crane's ballast. Since doing that calculation is what the computer's for, I'm sure they're blaming the computer for the wrong information they put into it.

I'm glad people film everything these days.

Guess they've got a dead-pool going there.

This begs, nay screams for the 'dude you ok?' tag.

This is why crane operators can't listen to the They Might Be Giants album Lincoln.


Supahfly - 2011-06-14

God the suspense of that was terrible. So many things to go wrong running through my mind, and in the end it was still a surprise. Bravo!


Old_Zircon - 2015-06-13

As soon as the pool cleared the garage I had a pretty good idea of what was coming.


spikestoyiu - 2011-06-14

The guy filming is just an electrician who was fucking around with his phone.


kingarthur - 2011-06-14

That was unexpected.


chumbucket - 2011-06-14

Hilarious. Now he really got what he wanted, the neighbor's attention.


memedumpster - 2011-06-14

Loses a star for not destroying his hou... five.

I will never get within the radius of a cranes arm.
