Crane collapse Derrimut

[u/Initial-Year-2729]

Oh no no no.

[u/jimmy_wobz23]

The front fell off...

[u/Pristine_Analysis_79 → u/jimmy_wobz23]

With most cranes, the front doesn't usually fall off.

[u/AutisticPenguin2 → u/Pristine_Analysis_79]

What made this one different?

[u/kaos_inc616 → u/AutisticPenguin2]

Well the front fell off

[u/DaRKoN_ → u/kaos_inc616]

Yes but why did the front fall off?

There's two types of people in this thread.

Those who have seen Clarke and Dawe, and those who haven't.

[u/Independent_Noise678 → u/Sure_Lavishness_2403]

There are also only 10 types of people in world - those that understand binary and those that don’t.

[u/Pristine_Analysis_79 → u/Independent_Noise678]

There are only 3 types of people in the world, those that can count and those that can't.

[u/AutisticPenguin2 → u/Pristine_Analysis_79]

There's two types of people in this world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete information...

[u/Gronkey_Donkey_47 → u/AutisticPenguin2]

What's the other type?

[u/insanemal → u/Independent_Noise678]

There are 10 types of people in the world.

Those that understand binary, those who don't and those who mistake ternary for binary.

[u/My_bones_are_itchy → u/Independent_Noise678]

There’re only two types of people in the world - those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

[u/Gronkey_Donkey_47 → u/My_bones_are_itchy]

And what's the other type? Cmon man, don't leave me hangin!

[u/GStarAU → u/Independent_Noise678]

Ooh, that was good. +01 for that.

[u/LifesShortFuckYou → u/Sure_Lavishness_2403]

The crazier the world gets, the more I miss John Clarke

[u/Sure_Lavishness_2403 → u/LifesShortFuckYou]

Same, and the Chaser's War On Everything.

[u/LifesShortFuckYou → u/Sure_Lavishness_2403]

100%

[u/mistress_daisy69 → u/Sure_Lavishness_2403]

I haven’t but now I want to cos this is my kind of humour lol

[u/CcryMeARiver → u/mistress_daisy69]

You'll love it.

[u/AutisticPenguin2 → u/CcryMeARiver]

It was a true treasure getting to see them regularly on the news. I suspect a highlight reel, or greatest hits would probably be better if you're watching them all at once, otherwise the weaker ones will inevitably pale in comparison to the standouts.

gold 👍

[u/AngrehPossum → u/DaRKoN_]

We don't know, cranes are made to very rigorous standards.

[u/Aussie-Ambo → u/AngrehPossum]

For starters, the crane is not supposed to fall over.

[u/BR_Toby → u/Aussie-Ambo]

Are you sure? What makes you say that? 🤔

[u/Aussie-Ambo → u/BR_Toby]

Well they are made to rigorous standards

[u/MouseEmotional813 → u/DaRKoN_]

Made of cardboard

[u/skanchunt69 → u/AutisticPenguin2]

It was made of cardboard.

[u/SnappyPies → u/AutisticPenguin2]

It was towed out of the environment.

[u/CaptainBucko → u/AutisticPenguin2]

Steel sourced from countries with dubious quality control and paperwork, most likely.

[u/PFEFFERVESCENT → u/CaptainBucko]

The only thing that makes that "most likely" is your bias.
More likely that it's an assembly or operation error

[u/BradMoby21 → u/CaptainBucko]

In the name of profitability

[u/sness900 → u/BradMoby21]

If its rusty its not painted properly, next time add more paint. When it gets rusty just and more paint.

[u/AutisticPenguin2 → u/CaptainBucko]

Because we don't have enough home grown stuff??

Australia has enormous deposits of iron, and no reason why we couldn't process it ourselves.

[u/Used_Conflict_8697 → u/CaptainBucko]

Weren't they smuggling cocaine in crane parts recently? Maybe they missed one lol

[u/Fouku → u/Pristine_Analysis_79]

Looks like the front became the back, clearly you can see the counter weights
