Looks like the Solent's container cranes are rusting out or have been built wrong. but it is frightening to see a crane bom tear off the main structure. Good thing no one was killed.

Although it's not a container crane here's a video of a crane collapsing on a job I worked on. I quit the job several months before this happened because I didn't like the way they were running it. The job that is, not the crane.

note to self: never work on a crane!

these things dont seem very safe, surely health and safety will step in soon enough with their high visibility vests. :P

Typical I was going to come off the tower cranes and get my ticket to work on the dockside cranes.

Dont think I will bother now.
