I know a guy that’s up in dead horse, no clue if that’s close though. Working up there looks miserable

I was curious about that. I’d imagine it would cost more to repair than just to replace it?

Looks like one hell of a mess and how do you pick up the 10 million pounds that disintegrated when it hit the ground?

That may be the worst (and most expensive) game of pickup sticks ever.

Even if...

You'd first have to have enough base to support the crane which you don't have. Because your supporting that bad boy plus the crane weight. And the supporting pad which has to be trucked in is probably going to be near as impractical as the crane would be. Only way would be break it down into small pieces and replace it as you go.... major headache for lots of people..

You're probably right totaled.

It crashed to the ground.
