this crane was on hire from central to kiewit. it was working at ohare airport in chicago. needless to say, it is down for a while. it is a 12 or 14000 manitowoc. ironically, manitowoc was known as a submarine builder in ww2.

11 inches of rain in i day. the crane was working in the bottom of a huge retention pond.:Banghead
yep looks like it holds water! Im suprised someone dident crawl it to to top when the rain started! I remember that day, that was alot of rain, we only got like 6 inches down here in joliet!
i guess the operator suggested crawling out but the e-joo-ma-kated engineer bosses said it would be fine. doh!
