Great Vid there Fella.....

Nice pics and vids there people, shudda got my lazy ass down there this morning.

Great video wheels and that model just kicks arse.. When i was a kid i was naughty and used to climb the cranes got caught once and told off but then i started asking loads of questions and they realised i was intrested and told me i could of been hurt cause they where dangerous.. I remember trying to get into the Cab area but the doors where allways locked but what i do remember is finding the buttons on the side where they blew the legs off to move them up and down the quayside and low and be hold got tarted off the dock side cause i didnt know what i was doing well i saw a button and pressed it and what happened a beep then it moved LOL i shit but thats my memory of them.. Anyways got a question to ask what was the name of the crane make as i want to see if theres any others like them and hunt around the net to see if i can compare em and see if there still standing if not they might of been the last..

cool vid wheels

Been watching all 4 videos and theres a strange groaning sound on them all as soon as the cranes hit the ground like there moaning hahaha.. ?

The girl filming on behalf of Dicovery said that they had sacrificial cameras around the site, radio link jobs. We must look for when the film comes on UK channels.
