yes lucky thing no one got killed but insert caption here... I really don't think thats how you transport a wrecking ball lol

Yikes! I've lost them inside a building before but not down the street!

Loosing them inside a building certainly isn't any fun. Especially if the building isn't the one you are wrecking.

OSHA is investigating today. The odd thing is that the contractor was using the wrecking ball to demolish pavers.

Pavers...riiight!?!

Yeah, we lost one in the basement of a coal prep house that had an abandoned water pumping station in it. The cushion cable snapped and the ball went down and lodged in the inflow pipe opening. We had to use another ball and couldn't get the first one until we had finishd the majority of the demo.

Coal prep house? now that's a clean job for you The only thing I can think of that is dirtier was a plant where they processed graphite. I just threw away my clothes after that one.

The coal wasn't as bad as the family of skunks that took up residence over a weekend unbeknownst to us. the poor guy on the bobcat moving steel got sprayed with more juice thatn I've ever seen. He came running out puking and gagging, but he was so pissed off he grabbed a couple of six mil bags and ran back in, grabbed the remaining skunk, double bagged it and ran out and threw it in the river next to the power station. For weeks after all of the coal dust smelled like skunk juice. We all had to burn our clothes orm that day.

does anyone know who the demo contractor was on this?
