- mikeyouse 1y agoNah - at 0:35 into the video on the news page, you can see the crane they actually crashed into. There are boom lifts around, but they hit a proper crane. Pulled this link from the video but no clue how direct linking works with some of these weird sites; https://cf.cdn.uplynk.com/ause1/slices/14f/5c3d34b8b29a45469a86c02775b7a2cf/14fd60624b1548668bf1847fe8d5bc83/14fd60624b1548668bf1847fe8d5bc83_e.mp4 https://cf.cdn.uplynk.com/ause1/slices/14f/5c3d34b8b29a45469...
- mothballed 1y agoThanks! I took a quick look at the image in the article, and wrongly assumed they pictured the thing that it hit.
- stronglikedan 1y agoIt's a local news station who's targeting the lowest common denominator, so it's an acceptable usage in this case. EDIT: NM, it was a crane after all.
- jfengel 1y agoToday I learned: Boom lifts, available in various models such as mini scissor lifts for sale, spider lifts, and tracked scissor lifts, offer excellent mobility, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness for many tasks. Cranes, on the other hand, are essential for heavy lifting and large-scale projects. I also learned that "spider lifts" look like something a bad guy drives in a sci-fi movie.
- mrguyorama 1y agoBoom and bucket lifts all conveniently say "Do not use as a crane" It's so convenient to ignore too!
