... don`t want to hear the dressing down from his boss....... I just can thank him for saving some workspace, as Liebherr ist just about 15 miles away from here. This guy should be honoured with a medal....  ::)

Lucky boy anyway, as it doesn`t look like somebody has been hurted through it.

I bet they are going to need a bigger crane to lift all the paperwork from heath & safety report / risk assessment / onerous of responsibility litigation / materials reports etc. etc. etc.....
