Reminds me. My Dad was workin' on a project at LAX while I was still up here at Vandenberg AFB workin'. He was oiling on a 95t conventional crane. Conventionals have the option of using gravity to lower a load other than that hydrocrane having to power the load down only. He said they were swinging the boom over the parking lot when the brake on the whip line (single part line used for lighter loads) failed to hold the winch spool and down came the headache ball. It takes quite a bit of weight to peel a 3/4" cable off of a winch, headache ball probably close to 18" in diameter iron ball plus the hook and such. That sucker landed right in the middle of a early 80s model Corvette :eek: :lol:He said it kinda bent the Vette into a V shape :rofl:
