I'm guessing they got charged 4000 per tree, an miscommunicated. If they where large hazardous storm removals I don't see a problem. But without a full story idk.

That's funny cause every business does gas goes up in the summer. Roses go up on valentine's day. Charcoal, grills and beer go up in the summer. And on and on.

Where do the fines go to? $12k?

What bullshit

Please tell me how this differs from a day-to-day medical procedure? Other than the fact that you could die while doing it

This is bs

Definite overload. Big tree, one cut at the base... SMH.🤦‍♂️

That's a 45 or 50 ton Crain I'm a professional tree arborist 25 years experience that tree should been taken in 4 peices to much weight on the Crain flips them eveytime

Too much of a hurry... smaller pieces would've helped.

Damn. Time to update the website.

Working over the side with too much boom out with too big of a pick

This why you carry big sheets and blocks to put down under the outriggers. Sight surveys. Probe the ground with a soil probe. Anchor back to another rig.

I had that happen to me a few years ago the boom caught my rope then the lead and slid down it pinning me in the crotch of the tree

Happens all the time!

But maybe they're good at "Landscaping and Construction"

Osha should be involved in this one. To help stop others from making huge costly life threatening mistakes

Our detail heard the call in westford yesterday....wasnt us

Ben Read Ryan Darling

Eric Person Jr. They should've called you! Thank the Lord everyone was ok!

Drew Canale they must have went with the cheapest price .....

Charlie Nadeau did u forget to set the outrigger pads??

Jason uh oh!

If the ground was too wet it would be like quick sand but that means you should use more rigging blocks or pads unless the outrigger where not all the way out but fine that hard to believe , I pick whole trees all the time

Looks like the outriggers were short jacked on the working side of the crane. Hard to tell what all went wrong with this but looks also like they were trying to pick the entire tree in one cut. This was also the first tree of the job, so they seemingly went too big too quick.

I’ve gotten on the T in Boston with everything to do a removal. Two chainsaws two rope bags like literally everything I could carry in one shot

You never fully recover from that

Look at the crane people!!

Crane swung it right into the wires

He was touching the crane not bucket truck !! You can see the portion of the tree making direct contact with the overhead lines in the video

never touch the truck

E-HAP Certified maybe🤔🤔

Generally the truck is inside the drop zone. You don’t go in the drop zone while the boom is aloft and a saw running. You don’t touch the truck ever while the boom is aloft. That’s why we also don’t chip brush when the boom is up. I went to this company’s page and I am shocked at their unsafe practices. I saw videos of people in drop zones, not wearing chaps, walking without the chain brake engaged. If someone hasn’t been killed with this company I’d be surprised. I would love to see their “safety” videos. I hope this guy Recovers fast and finds himself a better company to work for.

Steve Cappa

Sounds like he was talking to the operator prior to and during the pick within some mad clearances. He still may have gotten nailed from step potential.

Johnny Williams

Extremely tight work zone😳

Patrick K. Moran Tim Moran

Awful

Eric Ferris pay attention dangerous for everyone out here

It's tree work... Not rocket science. If you have any Ariel work being done by power Don't touch the truck.

I was told about this from an asplund forman wouldn't have thought of it the truck being live putting up.elevator this seems little different

Yeah it didn't run down the tree to the truck wtf they talking about, maybe down the crane which the were idiots reaching down in there anyway,, that shows us the degree of laziness that has came around since everyone started cranking shit, I've done several jobs that bigger companies "wouldn't do" because couldn't get a crane an bucket to it

Yes tree work is not cheap, but if you want to keep it going and keep clientele, it's best to work with people like their your family believe that, because Property Owners will give your number out and we'll insist to use the company that takes care of a person.

I wonder if these were all Insurance projects? Did the insurance companies complain?

I would love to see them do it faster and cheaper is it’s is outrageous.sounds fair to me

Sounds cheap for storm damage.

serves em right

But they leave big pharma alone, what a joke

4 guys with a crane and those are almost normal rates. Wtf

6 man crew in storm work. Numbers sound about right😳😂😂😂

What a jack ass

Tree work ain't cheap

James Glenn

They agreed to the work being done? Why isn't the AG going after insulin manufacturers?? I'm dyin over here. Fuckin hack.

Yeah cause this idiot knows the over head cost of running tree crews dumb ass

Next they will say oxygen is required for life..craaaazzzy

In other news water is wet..🤷‍♂️

Shocker

No sh!t.
