@@captalexBitcoin guy being squashed by a truck on a decline loading bay in MFS opposite city Thameslink. He got up, said he would be fine when he was actually 3 inches thick and then a few minutes later keeled over . He was determined he was okay, but he was thinner than a cigarette when he was fairly well built before. Moral of the story, never park on a reverse decline, always put the rear of the truck against the rubber stops to prevent humans from fitting between a truck and the chest level loading bay. Use chocks on the wheels and never just leave the truck in first gear with the handbrake off. See someone knocked it out of gear and a 20 tonne truck rolled back and squished the guy like a fly. The sound of bones being flattened like a wafer and the sound of the breath being forced from him in an uuuuuuuuuuuugggg sound we all knew were a death throwe noise. And then the guy speaking in a very different voice that he was ok and the fact he was walking around as thin as a wafer for at least 2 minutes and he even tried to help unload the truck some more was surreal. He even managed a small set of stairs a couple of times, when everyone was telling him to lay down. When he lifted his shirt he realised he was a goner and the sad look on his face as he began to cry and kept saying "not like this, not like this" Never seen anything like it, he was determined he was ok despite the noise when the truck pressed him against the concrete loading bay. At least I remember this after others would choose to forget, forget and never learn the lesson of multiple layers of safety. Now we all knew the guy in charge of the loading bay was at fault, a Scottish guy called Kevin Mcuan or something. He was in everyone's face like sandpaper so he could get a fight , well his actions led to a fight. A man fought for his life because this prick made literally everyone get in and out of HIS loading bay asap. The police took Great interest in this guy as he was questioned, his loading bay was closed for 3 weeks and he was demoted from loading bay manager. We the workers used to literally ignore him until some ceiling tilers grabbed him tied him up and left him in a skip full of rubbish. We the workers saw absolutely nothing, So after this the guy began drinking and became more aggressive over the coming weeks until a truck driver bit on his bait and flattened him with a punch to the jaw which sent him around in circles. We never saw him again when the ambulance took him away , the truck driver could never be found, he was not even delivering to that building. So one little Hitler single handedly caused a guy with 2 or 3 kids to have an empty space on the couch at the end of the day instead of their daddy. So little Hitler's take the moral of the story, if you by action or lack of action cause someone to die because you want to fight everyone just for being in YOUR loading bay, life will measure a punishment that will make you suffer like the guy who got squashed did and how his family suffered when they were told the clothes they wanted him dressed in when he was in his coffin would not fit him . So a message from me, please for fks sakes be nice to people, keep them safe, be respectful and don't be a pain in the arse to piss vinegar and fight everything you see that comes into your loading bay when they are there to deliver to you. Still I see the guy in my mind .
Solution: insert the guide tube into one of the three flanges, put one side on it, and then rotate to join. it is not difficult in any wind. Решение: надо вставить направляющую трубу в одну из трех фланцев, на него надеть одну сторону, а потом вращая стыковать. это не сложно при любом ветре.
I dont understand why they didnt use a heavy lift chopper, which can hold the load closer to the chopper itself. Therefore, no where near as much bullshit rope swinging all over hells creation.
Seriously dude way too fucking windy and just balls to the wall. I get it but dam that was so unsafe and bad practice man. That first dude almost got smashed twice. 🤦🏻♂️🤡
As a crane operator we had rules about maximum wind velocities which cancelled lift attempts. Maybe someone forgot to tell the pilot and job super, huh??
Got to have people on the ground with ropes attached to the section boys...(with an Irish accent) but don’t pout about it you’ll get the hang of it by and by...
I used to sling load fuel drums to and other loads to overhead helicopters. When they hover they are in balance an you can easily pull them down to where you need the hook if it is not to windy.
That looks like an incredibly dangerous procedure for both the helicopter crew and the guys on the tower. Even in good weather, you're going to have turbulence off that ridge.
I'm no expert BUT ... OSHA would have a field day with this video. There is no way around the effects of the chopper's down draft. My first suggestion: hire a much larger helicopter and fly in a stationery crane that doesn't need to contend with a windy downdraft. Then, move the stationery crane to the next tower site. All three of these men were VERY lucky they were not seriously injured.
The three guys on the tower are quite cool under pressure. They tried until it was apparent there was no way it was going to work. The last shot of the helicopter shows just how unstable the wind conditions were making it impossible for a stable pick. I know several guys were pretty stressed, the three on the tower, the pilot and the guy paying for the helicopter. Good try but very dangerous.
Hey John, We hired McCord Crain to put up the new WMRO-AM tower in 1999. I think we had a crane out there. We replaced the unipole in 2009 with thick copper clad steel. Gets out real well at 1 KW.
these are 250' met towers for a "wind farm" so the wind is never below 20 knots at that Particular location on Maui. no chance whatsoever of getting a crane to the site so we ended up just stacking it with a gin pole which was harder to get to that location than the stack was. it went up easy.
I is also work for the construction of the tower in the area of my country. I think, for the erection of tower height of 80 meters below, why not use a crane or a sling? Using these methods are easy and practical well as safety. but if the height of the tower that was built more than 100 meters is better to use a helicopter. Thank you
Im imagining software for the helicopter to make this easier. Paint a square on the ground with camera on bottom of heli to align with. Then calculate the correct altitudes with tower geometry. And use a robotic arm to interface tower and heli instead of rope. Someone probly already invented it.
They should it hold the legs at the same time and redirectioned ,while the guy on the ground told by radio at pilot to drop it down slowly . But anyways good tryed guys 💪
I wonder if the safety department would cite these workers for unnecessary risk of lives. Lucky those workers below did not have their heads chopped off with the swinging metals, or the helicopter crashing down. If the upper tower being carried tangle with the tower below, goodbye chopper and maybe all the workers below... I think this is impractical and idiotic
Dudes ain’t tryin to use tag lines n pull it n man handle it. I give the pilot mad credit. I’ve been in this situation numerous times!! Use the FRIGGIN TAG LINES!!!!!
I saw how the millimeter jeweler Maltsev worked! Helicopter Mi-10K weight > 40 tons + suspension... Here is have him this need to learn! (Я видел, как работал миллиметровщик - ювелир Мальцев! Масса вертолета Ми-10 K > 40 тонн + подвеска... Вот у него надо учиться! )
No Attempt? If they held on to the line, and then the helicopter is pulled away by the wind, do you A) expect the people to be ripped off the tower but keep hold of the line, or B) let go of the line and stay safely attached to the tower? As I see plenty of B going on..
Good try but no this is not the way to do it guys. It is slung wrong to start with. In this configuration it can't be accurately controlled from above due to inherent swinging and wind drift movements. If they set it up on a 4 corned sling with frame, it would give more control for positioning to the choppers movements. Seen this happen on several occassions in the past. Learn from experience.
This is crazy and totally insane. The linesmen were lucky not to get crushed. The high winds up the side of any mountain is a recipe for disaster. I'm a Rope Access guy and I can testify this is a highly risky job. I believe there are better safer ways to get the job done. But not this way. If I'm OSHA, I'd have shut down the site.
I just climbed off my own 85 foot Rohn 25 tower, a bit ago, then came across this video ! And I thought my shit was scary ? Wow ! Looked like that dude in the Yellow, was going to get snapped in half, at one point ! Couldn't help but wonder if anyone was cussing the pilot ? 😠 Lol !
it would have to have a gag the bulky chaos and the top part forms a funnel guiding and hoisting itself. as they do to assemble the shortwave antennas radio amateur
how about snubbing cables thru the flanges that the crew can put in the corresponding holes ? then use a small winch to pull it in place it always worked well putting a new head on a blown out oil or gas well .
When will they never not have wind with a chopper 30 feet above them? I would think a gin pole and winch would work better or longer rigging and much earlier in the AM.
I work for a company named Tower Construction. We and I did many chopper lifts and I never had a pilot that bad. The guys receiving the section were doing their job but the helicopter just couldn't put it so the guys could get a spud pin in.
@@rickstandal626 it’s a length of cable the same diameter as the hole. The mounts will have a whip in each mount the rigger threads it through the corresponding hole on the base then as you lower the section the flexible whip slides through the hole to line the mounts correctly. Replaces a spud
@@stephenschulte8569 Depending on the type of conection we used a bulls dick or a spud pin. Stabed it on the way down. Got the back leg first then the other two. If you have a good lift crew then it goes fast and easy. Never had a lift go bad in 20 years. Bever saw the method your talking about used so have no connent.
Its a flang connection so would be done using a spud pin BUT I didn't see the lift communicator, the guy who talked to the pilot with all my lifts we had him on the tower acting as the eyes of pilot.
I am a Rigger and i do the same work many times , ( errect towers up to 60 m). Aiways we use crane to do this jop. Its safer and faster. i never try to errect tower with Helicopter. !!!!
You got to be kidding me... One needs to love money way too much or be positively insane to attempt something like that. Most people who watch this probably have no idea how hard this is, including the piloting part.
Canis Major: Conservative I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH YOU!!!! My God, I damn near spewed coffee all over my IPAD PRO 12.9 SCREEN!!!! They need a Sikorsky CH-54!! Minimum!!!!
Definitely this method should be reviewed. The idea of fixed men and heavy hanging moving parts over the bodies and heads didn´t seem intelligent...Of course they have to be secure but....They are totally dependable on the enviroment and pitos hands..And luck...
4 minutes in and I can't take any more... This is what happens when an inexperienced pilot attempts to work with an inexperienced crew. Even though it was not my preferred methodology for installing or disassembling towers and antennas, I have worked with helicopters many times. I have even installed self-supporting towers with helicopters. In fact I have even worked with a helicopter in Hawaii, we installed that TV antenna on top of the Ala Moana hotel. Anyway... you better just use that helicopter to fly that steel into the site and then use a gin pole for your install, that or find another line of work.
Flying a helicopter is hard a hell. This pilot has wicked levels of experience in flying and it's still challenging as fuck. That is no easy task. Look up what it requires just to hover. It's one of the most challenging maneuvers a pilot can do. And in that climate? On top of a mountain with wind rushing over the top of it, I'd say he's holding pretty damn steady.
@@Ninja5433 You are correct the pilot got the steel close enough but as you can see the crew had only one man who wanted anything to do with that load.
This is terrible on cost and safety considerations. In the Philippines we are installing towers using 4o ft Rising gin poleat the center of the tower ,no helicopters needed .double pulleys are used to lift the load at the top of the gin pole to position them on each tower. leg. This Arrangement installs 60 meter tower in 7 days including painting works .
Deberian de tener otra estructura que que sirva de guia para el helicoptero algo como un cono o tipo piramide y que sea mobible claro para cada seccion ...como un enganche y luego solo se debe ir vajando...
there's a reason you don't do this on windy days, anything over 30Km/hr or 18mi/hr is dangerous and unpredictable....gees, hence why they are having difficulties.
I just had to stop and comment right quick. AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!!!!!!!!! These 3 men. OMG!!!!! I've seen many of these vids. This one is #1 as per OMG. This was not a day to be erecting a tower. I have not read intro or comments yet. But whatever the case. Not a good day. After reading everthing I pray its weather not pilot. I am so glad these men didnot die. I just cannot even begin to comprehend the danger these men where facing with this metal baring down on them . Hell to the no. Even If I had balls of iron like these true men. After the second time that metal almost made my body meatloaf. Right down down down all the way to the ground and when my feet kissed the ground I would have said to the boss y'all be safe now ya hear?. I'm at 9:60 I pray these fellers lived through this. Lawd have mercy.🙏
Very dangerous. I have an ideea. In each corner of the baze you must welded a guide sistem, like a cone or a simple ring, and a suspended rope guide and pass by that ring, and be very careful at hand. I repeat, this operation without a guide sistem and empty hands is a hard work and very dangerous. Sorry for my english.
+florin eusebio I have used a guide system myself in installations such as this, so I agree. One should not however weld anything to the tower structure as that may have an adverse effect on the structural integrity of the tower.
Hay otras maneras más seguras y prácticas de armar esas torres y no suspenderlo con un Helicóptero. Muy arriesgada esa maniobra. Yo vi que armen una torre como esa. En un solo día y sin complicaciones
been there done that. It's not a fun job but very rewarding. It takes nerves of steal and a very large bladder. Bathroom breaks a far a few between...lol
That Pilot needs more training, obviously he is more focused on the load or instead of trusting his crew and keeping the helicopter stable which is causing a hazardous ⚠️ working condition
I can't think of anything more dangerous. I've worked tanks 170' tall, bridges up to 280', been shot, stared down a grizzly bear 5' away and this shit just fucking scares me.
with three people below with ropes maintain the stability of the tower. but it seems that they are short of budget to pay three more employees. they prefer to spend the money on elicopter fuel.
7 years later and they are STILL trying to get that section on.
They are getting a lot of overtime , I hope the copter doesn't need refill !!
been in high rise construction all my life never seen anything so dangerous. obviously under powered copter, could have scraped those guys off several times leaving their harness still attached and their meat down on the ground. crew also not working as a team, each one is in survival mode and the pilot is probably doing the best he can with what he has to work with.

You want some wind with a helicopter. As long as it’s not gusting, up to 15-16mph is fine.
Brilliant assembly solution!!!
Got to have people on the ground with ropes attached to the section boys...(with an Irish accent) but don’t pout about it you’ll get the hang of it by and by...

I was gonna say, why not just use a gin pole?
One of the them should stand on the cliff with long rope to help aligning the tower and the other two can fix the screws ...
Need to create a video game doing this... Can you build the tower using the heli to add each section.
We used cable guides down anchor holes to guarantee alignment. I didn’t see anything for an alignment guide here.
Maybe I’m missing something ??
yeah I noticed that as well.

Simple Way is best. All corner wired per corner with static corner with long rope , which to be conts. this ropes guides the corners...
Why not "funnels" as guided?

+DonaldTenn I thought a gin pole would be better. Classic hero bullshit. We can do it blah blah blah. Winners finish first type of thinking. etc.
DonaldTenn thank you!!! Do you see the guy on the right give up and bust out his cell phone???
Flying a helicopter is hard a hell. This pilot has wicked levels of experience in flying and it's still challenging as fuck. That is no easy task. Look up what it requires just to hover. It's one of the most challenging maneuvers a pilot can do. And in that climate? On top of a mountain with wind rushing over the top of it, I'd say he's holding pretty damn steady.
@@Ninja5433 You are correct the pilot got the steel close enough but as you can see the crew had only one man who wanted anything to do with that load.
This is terrible on cost and safety considerations. In the Philippines we are installing towers using 4o ft Rising gin poleat the center of the tower ,no helicopters needed .double pulleys are used to lift the load at the top of the gin pole to position them on each tower. leg. This Arrangement installs 60 meter tower in 7 days including painting works .

I wonder if they are still trying to get the second section in place.😨
It seem the pilot is not clever to handle the heli or strong wind?
Bay lăp cột điện là phi công hạng cao cấp! OK khó lắm!
Deberian de tener otra estructura que que sirva de guia para el helicoptero algo como un cono o tipo piramide y que sea mobible claro para cada seccion ...como un enganche y luego solo se debe ir vajando...
Uma câmera em cada base
there's a reason you don't do this on windy days, anything over 30Km/hr or 18mi/hr is dangerous and unpredictable....gees, hence why they are having difficulties.

I just had to stop and comment right quick.
AIN'T NO DAMN WAY!!!!!!!!!
These 3 men.
OMG!!!!!
I've seen many of these vids.
This one is #1 as per OMG.
This was not a day to be erecting a tower.
I have not read intro or comments yet.
But whatever the case.
Not a good day.
After reading everthing I pray its weather not pilot.
I am so glad these men didnot die.
I just cannot even begin to comprehend the danger these men where facing with this metal baring down on them .
Hell to the no.
Even If I had balls of iron like these true men.
After the second time that metal almost made my body meatloaf.
Right down down down all the way to the ground and when my feet kissed the ground I would have said to the boss y'all be safe now ya hear?.
I'm at 9:60 I pray these fellers lived through this.
Lawd have mercy.🙏
Very dangerous. I have an ideea. In each corner of the baze you must welded a guide sistem, like a cone or a simple ring, and a suspended rope guide and pass by that ring, and be very careful at hand. I repeat, this operation without a guide sistem and empty hands is a hard work and very dangerous. Sorry for my english.
+florin eusebio I have used a guide system myself in installations such as this, so I agree. One should not however weld anything to the tower structure as that may have an adverse effect on the structural integrity of the tower.
Hay otras maneras más seguras y prácticas de armar esas torres y no suspenderlo con un Helicóptero. Muy arriesgada esa maniobra. Yo vi que armen una torre como esa. En un solo día y sin complicaciones
سلام... به نظر میرسد از هر سه گوشه برج طناب های بلندی اویزان کنند تا افراد روی زمین پایین برج انرا کنترل کنند و سپس تکنسین ها برج را جا بیندازند ...
I don't see any wind in the brush, not even any prop wash from the rotors
The big mistakes of electors they don't use long round bars to catch the base plate hole they just depending on the tag line .un safe work
Early morning, no wind, better pilot.
My search came up with this video as suggestion, how did they not account for wind movement... thought this didn't fail to amuse.
been there done that. It's not a fun job but very rewarding. It takes nerves of steal and a very large bladder. Bathroom breaks a far a few between...lol
That Pilot needs more training, obviously he is more focused on the load or instead of trusting his crew and keeping the helicopter stable which is causing a hazardous ⚠️ working condition
Somebody needs to call Mike Lindell and see if he could make a firmer pillow for that chopper to hover on..
And where would you put it????? Next to a trailer ? A dog ? Or the yard you get made fun of in?
that was a crazy piloting scenario.. with a cable that long and with wind that is an impossible scenario no matter how good the pilot is.
I do this all the time typical time over head 1 minute or less
What do you expect, the helicopter PILOT is only 12 years old!😁
No he's 13
We can say is another level Air tower construction NOW.
Helicopter's under-powered. That's barely a good traffic copter.
aw thats my job fixing tower
I can't think of anything more dangerous. I've worked tanks 170' tall, bridges up to 280', been shot, stared down a grizzly bear 5' away and this shit just fucking scares me.
This is a good lesson to all. If it is too windy just park the thing.
with three people below with ropes maintain the stability of the tower. but it seems that they are short of budget to pay three more employees. they prefer to spend the money on elicopter fuel.
