Crane Mishap

Post #1 by Jeremy Rowland » Sun Aug 05, 2007 8:54 pm

I came across this crane accident at a huge building site in the middle of Birmingham. The site is next to Birmingham Snow Hill Station and immediately next to the Metro tram station.
It appears that the crane toppled backwards and hit the Hitachi excavator, had the crane been in the position of the excavator it would have fallen across the Metro tram track and the mainline into Snow Hill station. Whoops :dizzy:
The date of this accident is April 2007.
