NO political talk, just talking about the effects of a burst line. I saw it one time, a video right after the shots were fired, of the big JCB telehandler letting loose a geyser of hydraulic oil, sideways, about 40-50', as it's boom retracted, didn't lower, just retracted . I had had the thought earlier of what would have happened if a line on one of the big boom trucks had been hit, and whether or not they were positioned in a fail safe way relative to the crowd, I'd assume so. I also had the thought the those same rigs were locked down on site for a few days after the event, not allowed to leave it looked like, I hope the owners didn't have work scheduled, a good excuse anyway.
Already a thread on it. HeavyEquipmentForums
