On: Why Cranes Keep Falling

[cr1895]

Another recent tragic crane-related fatality: http://www.nltimes.nl/2016/02/23/at-least-two-killed-after-p...

Crane operater tries to drive a crane across a railroad crossing, underestimates the time it takes, passenger train slams into it killing the train driver and injuring a number of others.

(link text says two killed but it's wrong)

I assume the same rules exist as in the UK, where slow vehicles must telephone the railway signaller before using a crossing.

So this is just another version of not following the rules.
