South Africa: New loco dropped during offloading
The video shows a brand new EMD GT46C-ACe locomotive being offloaded at the docks, then something went twang...
Lucky nobody was hurt. What a shame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvyIrsZ7Zhs#t=43 |
oops ! When offloading £500,000 locos why use a tuppeny-ha'penny sling ?
|
That would be 1 1/2 cents in South Africa. 100 cents to the Rand and as of today R17.65 to the £1. You are right Tony, that is a cheap sling. :-)

Slightly off topic but when I was a kid, our money was equal to the pound. R1 = £1. Now look at it :mad: I will not go into the politics however.

Take note of the date on the film.
It has been doing the rounds since 2012 and has been on here before. |
I noticed that after posting, but it is still spectacular :eek: Has this happened in other countries?
|
Class 70 at Newport Docks in South Wales a couple of years ago now I think.
My question on this sort of incident is, Who is responsible for the lifting tackle if using the Ship's own lifting equipment? Where is the tackle registered? I understand that the responsibility on the day is Ship until the load is landed. |
