   Well, that was a fast way to put it on the ground. It was suprising how much time it took to fall. I saw the operator jump and run, hope he got away.

   i think the operator did not make it.

   with all due respect for the operator that died, what did they expect it to do? i could see what was going to happen before the video even started

   I looked to me that the operator lost that round.but i just shows ya no thought process there was there you can see from the off what was gonna happen.How are people who control these jobs allowed to control these jobs?..it never ceases to amaze me how folks get in these situations

   Ummnh yeah, a couple of taps.........nothing........a few more taps........nothing........a few more and then......ohhhhhhhhh gosh. You can sorta tell that the operator knew it was dodgy and I reckon he might have survived if he stayed in the cab? Anyway I gotta go and make some beer money.

   best thing he could have done is pull up on the boom and hope that it blocked the debris. the cab won't stop much but that boom will. it is the only thing that saved me when i took the 312 off the side of a tilt trailer.....wait the best thing would have been not to show up that day.
