How not to use a crane on a river bank



This is a good example of how the job isn't just about using a crane to move materials. You have to prepare the ground for the heavy crane before starting work, especially if you are on the edge of a river where the ground is sure to be loose and wet.

It doesn't look as though anyone was hurt. The crane driver had enough sense and composure to turn his cab around, and everyone else made a run for it. I hate to think how much it's going to cost to right that crane and fix the damage incurred.
