Well, Japan can't be totally efficient in everything they do.
A crane tipped over at a construction site in Tokyo.
The top crashed into the sixth floor of a neighboring building.
You can bet, the operator's butt was biting the seat and the residents on the sixth floor had other activity from below as well.
The crane was moving rocks and other debris for a 12 story building with two underground floors.
I once taught a class to a group of crane operators....terrible students but nice guys.
The operators were working on the construction of the nuclear power plant in Kariwa and one of them was working the world's largest crane.
I asked him if he thought that was 'cool.'
"Nope...the thing turns at the speed of the clock...one degree a minute. Takes forever to do anything. The little cranes are more 'fun.'"
Yeah....unless they fall over.
Would you like to drive a crane?
