Photo of the day: epic crane fail

MINING.com Editor | August 18, 2013 | 10:35 pm

An oldie but a goodie: back in 2011, unexpected gusts of heavy wind toppled a crane near the Washington National Cathedral.

One Facebook commenter was cruelly optimistic that the crushed truck belonged to the project’s foreman.

Thanks to our friends at Mining Mayhem for the share.
