Carrel, Spain The winds at 3:30 am picked up and managed to blow down a crane that was on a cross base. No injuries were reported but the crane is a total loss. Link to News Story Source of pics

Tower Crane Support is ran by Terry McGettigan out of San Diego. Terry and I met years ago when I was still an erector as an Iron Worker. Apparently my notification process has failed me and it's back to manually finding the stories. Terry has many good photos and videos on his pages. Mine seeks to speculate a bit as to what we can learn from it and if Terry can find exactly what the cause is, he'll show you. If you enjoy my blog, you should hit his too. www.towercranesupport.com
