passingthru69 Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Well I tried seeing video. says forbidden. 403 code whatever that is. News print says it was taken off a mobile video. Some people like filming cranes work. There were many people filming Big Blue on the day it crashed in here in the states. That one was so far up in the air it had to have air space rights. I have hauled parts of what they called it's brother crane. When all put together one big a$$ crane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Munchmaster Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 You can hear air raid sirens in the background, so maybe it was shot down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhumvit Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Don't know what the BBC are coming too. Just read the link story. They describe it as a 100 ft crane in the initial blurb. Then two paras later it's suddenly a 300 ft crane. ? ? ? Enquiring minds need to know. How tall was it really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
