Close call on a 3 story building last Tuesday
I was running a 90 ton crawler crane near downtown Seattle, setting steel beams for a new office building. The load started swinging weird during a 200 foot pick, and I realized the tagline operator wasn't paying attention. I set the load down slowly and stopped the hoist before anything got out of hand. Turns out a shackle pin was loose on the rigging, which made the beam twist. Anyone else ever have a load act up because of loose rigging hardware?

Gotta disagree, that sounds more like a pre-shift inspection fail than just loose rigging acting up.
