:lol: I was working a flood control job on the Tijuana River. Couple bridges, lots of rip rap, some paved slopes, concrete low flow channel part of the way. I was running the little Hydro Crane one day. Crane technology wasn't very advanced back then. I sat in the seat for operating the crane and also had controls to drive the truck it was mounted on. Well the rod busters/iron workers had some rebar they needed to move and there was no truck available to do so. I was instructed to pick it up with my crane and walk it to the new location. It was right at the maximum weight for the crane so I had to keep the boom high as possible to keep the weight close to the truck in order to keep steering. I had 3 iron workers watching my overhead clearance just in case. Guess what? They missed a telephone line that crossed above me and the boom pulled it down. Oh well. They were doing the watching.
