Ah.. I can see it now. Could have got all the spectators to act as ballast,
since they were just hanging around. Nah, Shoulda called a heavier truck.
I've seen tow truck drivers walk away from a tow because they didn't want to
risk messing up their rig.

Re: OT, double dumb
The guy in the third pic down.(grey jacke)
Where'd he go in the fourth pic?
He oughta be in the olympics!
As an aside,Only an idiot picks heavy things over the
side of a crane.Should be square with the load.
The bigger rig seen later does the same but with
outriggers.Smarter.

Is anyone able to still view the photos? I just navigated to them
again and they won't load for me even though the rest of the webpage
looks intact.
I then used the actual address of the first photo,
http://andreusii.sweb.cz/ser/01.jpg
and it doesn't load for me as well as the nine other photos don't
launch from their collective link index webpage at
http://andreusii.sweb.cz/ser/
I wanted to send the link to someone but fortunately test viewed the
original forum webpage to learn of this situation.
