Crane Operator Forgets His Crane Is Up, Crashes Into Nearly Everything (Video)

If you’re a crane operator, there are many things that you have to remember, but perhaps the most important is remembering that your crane is in the DOWN position once you’re done with the job and back on the road. If not, well, it could cause a bit of chaos, because cranes are big and tall and sturdy. The crane operator in the video below didn’t remember that one golden rule and we can assume he’s paying for it (literally) now.

Watch as this crane drives through an intersection, pulls down power lines and smashes into and destroys traffic lights. It hits the traffic lights so hard that it appears to pop the front wheels of the truck off the ground, which seems to be the only reason the driver ended up stopping, because he sure didn’t seem to realize he had pulled down a bunch of power lines!

All of this because he forgot to put his crane down!
