Big Blue Crash

Submitted by Operator on Friday, 24 April 2009One Comment

One of the largest and most famous crane accidents was the crash of “Big Blue”. The original operator refused to make the pick due to the high winds. He was sent home and another operator was called. (THIS IS A COMMON PRACTICE) The pick failed and three men were killed.
