Crane Fishing


So me and the wife went down to the anual Ribfest here in Burlington Ontario to partake in the event.

We finish our meals and take a walk along the lakeshore. Well look what we find today..

It's been like that for a few days now.. they've even got the truck propped up.

"The Ontario Ministry of Labour has slapped eight work orders against the general contractor and a subcontractor building the city's $8.5-million 'S'-shaped Brant Street pier after a 40-ton mobile crane toppled over on the problem-plagued waterfront showpiece last week."

Re: Crane Fishing


Something tells me that was more than a 1,000 pound load of rebar on the end of that crane.
