What happens when you drop a locomotive from a crane?

[ in this case the crane failed spectacularly. ]

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > KatzManDu 11/22/2014 at 12:47

The whole thing got bent!

Well, that's scrap now. The frame's bent. Insurance will total it out, and they probably won't even give you enough to buy a new one from the dealership.

I think this was in Gabon, a few years ago.

This must have been loud as all get out.

Clearly the crane operator needed more "training".

From what I read the crane had a true malfunction; one of the gears sheared, or the brake holding the gear on the pulley on the ropes sheared, causing the drop.

This doesn't really look like the crane operator's fault at all, if you ask me.

It was a pun. "Training". Because train.

Ahh. Fail on my part. Obvious pun is [now] obvious.
