Worked around cranes and big equipment a lot, all I can say is WOW!
Saw a long stick crane go down in a crowed construction site in Albany in the 1970s. Why no one was hurt had to have been a miracle!-

Yeah, you can usually spot the non 1st world country ones right off the bat by the lack of PPE. Not wearing hard hats while working with overhead loads, lack of high vis, no eye protection, etc…and then staying in close proximity to their work. I’m still watching it, but one that stood out to me was about the 14:20 mark where they were pulling that semi out of the ditch with that big Deere tractor. The guy walking next to the tow cable and actually grabbing it a couple times while under heavy tension made me cringe. Thankfully, most people will never see the aftermath of a cable parting and cleaving bodies in half, and I’ve only seen pictures.
