Unreal! The guys watching/filming could clearly see what was going to happen, and let the lift go ahead anyway. TBH, though, knowing New Zealanders, they probably all knew what was the likely outcome before they started...Health and what?...
It did look like they were trying to do a controlled drop of the load to save the crane, the load was swaying way too much for any other reason. Bloody scarey for the crane driver
that was just bloody scary to watch fair play to the crane driver for turning it round so the arm fell back away from everybody else.
