‘To a certain extent it is a video game, but with very serious consequences’, is how the crane operator describes his work. A bridge collapsed in Pitssburgh last week. Fortunately no one was seriously injured, but there was a concertina bus weighing about 20,000 kilos among the rubble.
The huge crane needed 140,000 kilograms of counterweight to avoid tipping over while lifting the bus. By the way, the weight is not even the biggest problem when storing the harmonica bus. The flexible part of the bus should not sag too far, because then things will clatter downwards. Fortunately it all went well.
