I came across this crane accident at a huge building site in the middle of Birmingham. The site is next to Birmingham Snow Hill Station and immediately next to the Metro tram station.
It appears that the crane toppled backwards and hit the Hitachi excavator, had the crane been in the position of the excavator it would have fallen across the Metro tram track and the mainline into Snow Hill station. Whoops
The date of this accident is April 2007.
Please respect my copyright to any pictures that I may post. If any forum member would like copies of pictures or pictures of individual machines then please e-mail me and I will be glad to help.
