I know I posted this in another thread, but I thought it deserved it's own!

Was anyone hurt...?

Odds on

The cab looks a bit fooked. Did it land in the water, or was it straight on to the mud?

Luckily not.

The guy started the engine yesterday morning, set the manual throttle to build air in the system, but as he jumped out, he reckons he must have knocked the gear selector. As the air pressure increased, it started to move in the direction of the pier. When he realised what was happening, he legged it back onto the crane (brave man as there was only 2 meters to go!) to try and stop it. He then realised that there was no hope so jumped off and fell 10 ft onto concrete! He is a bit banged up, but no where as bad as the crane. Hey ho, made these last couple of days exciting.

Gosh...sounds dramatic!

Looking at it, i'd say the whole chassis is bent!

The tide was in went it entered. I'm just amazed that no one was hurt!
