Crane Incident

• These pictures are of a crane incident that
  occurred in the Netherlands at Shell's Antwerp
  Refinery. During a major turnaround, fan tubes
  were being lifted using a tube tray. During the
  lift and while the tube tray was directly over
  the crane operator's cab, the tube tray deviated
  from horizontal and the fan tubes slid off and
  plunged like arrows into the operator's cab. Note
  that the tubes were not properly secured to the
  tray during the lift operation. The attached
  pictures show the condition of the operator's
  seat just after the accident. The pictures tell
  the tale.

Crane Incident

• This is a reminder to take all "lifts seriously,
  from the lightest and least complex to the
  heaviest and most complex. Proper rigging
  andsecuring of loads SAVES LIVES.
• Post script Amazingly (and thankfully), the
  operator suffered only minor scratches in one
  leg.
