So it must have been cheaper to ruin the crane and pay surrounding damage that to just dismantle and reassemble the crane 😑

How long have they known this storm is coming but they left the crane in place?? Fine the crap out of this company

[bigvaxmeanie]

People dont understand how hard it is to disassemble a crane that size

[silvanaramos]

Could that have been foreseen, I wonder?

[marlinethompson]

Why didn't they remove the crane before, that's carelessness I think.

[bonitobonita]

Why they didn’t moves it away before the storm

[DONJULIANOrtiz]

…and why was it up again??
Now we have to get cranes to clean up the cranes 🤷‍♂️

That my dear friend is gross negligence.

[jeffreymoscardelli]

I think that is a bit more than a mess and a half

Funny how the coverage for this tops North Carolina and Georgia and Hawaii. Florida will get through it they always do.

how dumb you have to be to not take that crane down before the storm hits wow

We're all just tiny ants on the globe

Thinking of the people of Palestine at this difficult time.

The contractors & building company should be fined & sued. They decided to just leave the crane up rather than take it down, then resemble it!!!
