Lucky no one got squished. Looks like the lift points ripped out.

Oh boy...I would hate to be those guys!

 

[ColoPrinthead]

I hope they were taking that sign down and not putting it up

 

[Texas_Signmaker]

So what's the lesson? If it's an old rusty sign, run straps around the entire thing?

 

[fresh]

it was being removed to be refurbished, and yeah, they attached the crane to a rusty part which broke under the load.

No, make sure the poles are cut entirely and not to use your crane as a pulley system to break or snap steel.

Oohhh, I see that now. That's not smart

 

[Johnny Best]

It looks like the crane strap broke. Glad no one was injured.

Yup, saw that and was thinking the same thing before I read your response - just a little bit of steel left and not cut through all the way. Looks like their bucket truck probably took some damage on the passenger side...ouch.

Ugh. That just makes my stomach turn watching that video. Not because it's stupid vertical video either.

Take the sign to a detail shop, looks like it'll buff out.

 

[The Big Squeegee]

Looks like the bottom cabnet will need to be reworked too.

I like how the guy in the bucket raised the cutting torch up like it was a lightsaber that he could use to cut the sign in half in case it was going to hit him.
