I lived for 32 years in Los Angeles County, now I have to take my wife to Knoxville once a month to her doctor. I have seen the way most people drive, speeding, talking on the phone, weaving in and out of traffic trying to get a car length ahead of everybody else. Some of them are even reading. I've seen the pileups that result, hundreds of cars in California's San Jouquin Valley. Yep, operator error. If you think operating heavy rotating equipment is something that can be done by a book, translated from it's native lanquage by someone who doesn't have a good grasp of English as spoken here, is the way to do things, it is your right. Just don't run into us older folks on the way to the doctor's. Next time you see a crane parked along the highway, look to see if the boom is up or down. It ought to be down, because if the cable that supports it breaks, it could kill, and defenitely will be expensive. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
