Quick thinking crane crew averts catastrophe
Untold numbers of workers and passers-by might have been seriously injured in central Sydney on Monday November 9, were it not for the quick thinking of a crane operator and his dogger.
The incident occurred around 8.00am on the Parkview Pty Ltd site at 710 George Street – just as the Haymarket area of the city was starting to buzz with workers and commuters.
The Favco tower crane operator was unloading a 6 tonne site shed on to the back of a semi-trailer, parked in the loading area at the front of the site.
