    Yikes. Looks like the contractor would be held liable for that one. The crane was way undersized for the weight of that stone, which is something the operator should've been able to figure out on the first lift. Sad, but it was completely avoidable.

    Holy crap on a cracker. I really hope no one got hurt when that happened.

    I'd like to hear the Benny Hill 'Wacky Sax' in the background of this. Might also be funny sped up a little. 8-)

    Would this be considered a *monumental* fail?

    That seems highly improbable. Are there companies THAT irresponsible?
