  1. Rigger must've forgotten to tighten one of the bolts. The video also reminds me of seeing buildings going up in Hong Kong in the early 80s which would totally surrounded by scaffolding, but not metal scaffolding, but bamboo.

  2. Bamboo is pretty strong. Common practice over there. Where are all the people in this vid? Why were they filming?

    1. If i were to go to India, Perry sure I’d not go in a building with > 3 floors.

  4. Now there is an "oh shit" moment for the crane operator if there ever was one.

  5. It looks like a toy scenario. The yellow truck looks like a toy, and the buildings that the crane falls onto don't look real, either. That crane should have pulverized what it hit, yet not much damage. Also, notice that the wind is blowing against the direction that the crane is falling.
