This was a real close call because the guys who were holding the guide lines before the dump truck was moved into position on the ship had been stood underneath the truck and would have almost certainly been killed if it had dropped then.
Some insurance company will no doubt pick the tab up for this accident, makes you wonder what and exactly how much damage was done to the truck itself. :think:
What a lesson for all to learn and yet some folk still are daft enough to stand under a heavy load, hmm laws of gravity what goes up usually comes down a whole lot quicker! :dizzy:
