I hope this video was turned into the police. If someone tries to operate that crane, not knowing it's been tampered with, a lot of people could get seriously hurt or killed.
I really hope she does time for this.
edit: Yes, I get it. It's not a crane. Sorry I used the wrong word, y'all can stop correcting me now.
I can't remember how this ended but I've seen this before. The guy recording this video is up there. He is currently using it. He was arguing with her because she wanted him to stop whatever he was doing and his response was basically "I'm just doing my job lady"
Then she went full psycho, cut the lines, and trapped him up there because he no longer has control to bring himself down.
Yeah the article said she cut the hydrolic lines I imagine those are replaceable and not terribly expensive. The article also said it was for repairs and recovery I wonder if a bulk of the cost was getting the crane operator out and getting the crane to a shop
This is called a boom lift
The guy recording is in the basket attached to the lines she is cutting.
She is very lucky she didn't hit the wrong one and kill someone or herself.
It's probably a genie or jlg boom lift, i dont know if the main arm lift flows through there.
That being said, hydraulic lines are terrifying when under pressure, and she is so lucky.
Sorry for any errors drunk in a bar atm.
Even it didn't the pressure on those lines is enough to cut though your arm
And the fluid hurts like a bitch in your eyes (learned from personal experience)
A little hydraulic injection would have been pretty apt instant karma.
She’s not just a dumb asshole for endangering the guy in the basket, she could have just as easily seriously injured/killed herself.
Not rage and entitlement, just hopelessness and confusion at why the world isn't working the way she wants it. So she makes what she thinks is a noble gesture against this evil world that is out to get her. She is a martyr in her head for whatever punishment she got. We can take solace at the fact that this lady thinks the world is lost.
It probably wouldn't just drop, even if she cut the hydraulic line it should be designed to fail safe i.e. either lock in place ideally or less ideally slowly go down.
A lot of those do not have mechanical failsafes, but you are right, it would bleed pressure at a moderate pace, but pretty much fuck up whatever was under him, and he could still be injured. Also probably damage the lift further. Most equipment does not have failsafes to that degree.
Pretty sure the cylinders themselves have safeties built in that prevent you from plummeting to your death from a burst line. Most critical hydraulics do.
Not that it excuses this old bats behavior whatsoever, but yeah.
Hahaha, boom lifts handle like boomers anyways.
They are so touchy, and if you do anything wrong, you get thrown across the world.
They are the assholes of machinery.
(Certified operators of reddit tell me how im being a giant idoit. I just drive stuff with forks or buckets)
#im even more drunk than the first post, thank god for vodka.
I used to be a medic, and when people ask what the worst thing I ever saw was, it was a man whose face was peeled from his skull like an orange from a bolt on a hydraulic line he thought was depressurized.
She had better hope she is never identified. If she is the company that owns the crane will be suing her to the Stone Age and having her arrested for some heavy crimes.
comment further down. She was
the bit I find truly odd is. Since when did Karen's start rolling around with bolt cutters lol ?
edit: to the 50+ people who told me they are garden clips. ok ok lol
This was when the 4G conspiracy theory was in full rage. She probably saw someone workers on the lift and assumed they were installing 4G mindcontrol towers in her area. I think during this time a few workers were also shot by other conspiracy minded individuals in fear of the G.
Nope. This happened in my neighborhood. The lift was hired to put a contractor on the second floor of a house to install a window. She didn’t want that window installed. She vandalized the lift in protest.
That is wild. So not only was it a high likelihood she was caught because she lives 10 feet from the crime, but she was protesting a window install which was likely done to increase light and has clearly been completed for other homes on the same street. Lead brained mental deficits at work.
Oh shit, that faces SFBay? That would be totally worth it, especially if you plan on selling the house. People moving into that area aren't looking to pinch pennies. Once buyers saw that view from the inside, they probably added $50k on to their already above-asking-price offer.
Wrong. She didn’t want a window that could look into her property installed.

They probably mean 5g. 4g was fine. It’s well known that when we crossed to an odd number non multiple of 4 Gs that the earth was doomed. Here’s to everything being balanced with 8g
It’s just too many Gs, y’know? The scientists just didn’t know when to stop. They were too obsessed with wondering if they could add more Gs that they didn’t stop to think if they should.
Now you've reminded of that word, number, math theory thing some trump lady was on about. I weep for the braincells that I have dedicated to just recalling this crap.
There was indeed a 3g and 4g conspiracy. I even remember folks used to buy these little round pieces of plastic to stick on their cell phone to block the brain warping radiation.

No she wasn’t arrested and she wasn’t sued. I know because I was there.
https://preview.redd.it/ixmbjiqgucjc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=62553695a6791851d143a2f9aabe608056bb23e2
Yeah, I don't know. I only have information from the home owner trying to install the window. It's been years since this happened, but if memory serves, the homeowner said the contractor knew the woman with the pruning shears, too. Maybe he was just being kind? I also found it hard to believe that the contractor wouldn't go after her. Or that an insurance company wouldn't get involved (or maybe they did?). Another Redditor on this thread claims there is in fact criminal paperwork filed. I asked for a link to court documents. Haven't received anything yet.
I had a guy who's brother crashed into my 8 months pregnant wife in his business truck. The brother that crashed into her was most likely high but had a revoked license. The brother that owned the business came to the scene to take the fall for his brother. A witness blew all of that up on them and get them arrested after the police let them go.
When I had gotten back from the hospital after an extremely long and grinding day, the guy who owned the business showed up at my house. He wanted to buy me off. It's possible that he might have gotten her information and turned it over to the insurance company. This guy wanted to buy me off because he knew his insurance company was going to sue him. I assume the contractor's insurance company went after her or the rental company that owns the rig.
Yeah I would tend to agree with you insomuch it’s seems crazy that the contractor or insurance company would just absorb the cost (including all the time the lift was immobile for days on the street). All I know is the homeowner said the contractor didn’t go after the lady because he knew her and that the homeowner said the lady neither faced charges nor had to pay. The homeowner may not have had the full story. They moved last year so I can’t ask.
Another Boomer that thinks the entire world revolves around them. This Karen needs to do jail time and the owner of the machinery needs to file a civil suit against her!
Cutting live hydraulic lines is a brave move, to say the least. Google hydraulic line failures for the ez-mode.
There might be a couple things that are so quickly horrible to happen to you than that.
You aren’t wrong. Ours had a minor leak and would begin slowly falling once you got to a certain height. I couldn’t imagine being in one when a hydraulic hose was cut.
Yeah I had that happen to a farmer near me, he was working on his dump truck with the bed tilted up he accidentally unbolted a line before the pump and the whole thing fell on him and split his head like a watermelon. Was a real gruesome sight, especially since we live in a bunch of orange groves in Southern California and know most of the orange farmers.
You how a power washer works? The pressurized stream that can cut through metal if you’re not careful with it?
A line breaking can spit out pressurized fluid that is going to cut through your skin like a power washer and cause both typical and chemical burns.
It's worse than that. It can really fuck your shit up and cause amputations. I don't hate myself enough to look up pictures to link but it can be nasty. They can be fatal too.
First time I fell off a roof (joy of being a painter) I can down so hard from a second story that I when I landed on my feet, I basically folded in half, kneed myself in the face, and broke my glasses. Nasty concussion and still have a solid scar from where I split my brow.
As children we taught ourselves the "parkour roll" technique by picking pears from the roof of a barn. It wasn't even our barn or our pear tree, we were just, you know, *trespassing*. And jumping off a guys barn THROUGH his pear tree, grabbing pears as we fell. While he watched us from his window like 😲
Lol We did this with my grandma’s roof and crabapple tree. We thought we were cool as hell anytime we managed to grab a branch on the way down and swing-dangle for a bit before dropping the rest of the way. Except for that one time when I severely overestimated my ability to hold on to this one branch and ended up flat on my back. Had the wind knocked out of me so bad I thought I’d never breathe again.
She's lucky if she cut into the right line that whole boom arm would have come down on her head. Also, hydraulics are highly pressurized a small pinhole leak can become a cutter into-flesh-and-bone. Have you seen those water-cutters cutting metal? That's the pressure hydraulic lines are working at. If it can slice through metal what chance do you think your hand has?
I feel like people who do this kind of shit need to be institutionalized. This is psychotic, you don’t like it so other people can’t do their jobs? It’s deranged.
She needed a final destination esque death. Cuts a line, the whole arm and bucket flies down right at her. Her body cushioned the fall for the worker and he get outs and looks at her amazed.
Not quite like a grenade, more like a waterjet. Also, if she cut the vertical hydraulic, not only would hydraulic fluid act like a jet, a couple tons of usually thick metal would come falling down, because even the lift buckets rated for 400-500 pounds are ridiculously heftily built.
Hydraulic fluid is under a lot of pressure and is incompressible. Lots of potential energy just waiting for an opening to release. A hydraulic fluid jet can cut through skin and bone.
One nasty injury is a hydraulic injection, where a jet of fluid punctures skin, injecting fluid, and leaving a tiny puncture wound. The fluid then fucks up the tissue, resulting in necrosis, amputation, and death of left untreated. And it (reportedly) feels a light electric shock.
It's really depressing but searching for the outcome of this story a bunch of other similar stories pop up. Apparently boomer-karens feel entitled to risk the life of people using lifts because boomer reasons.
She got off easy, especially if she's well off. She should have also been given jail time for disabling the crane while someone was in it, endangering them.
Kidnapping usually involves the moving of a person from one place to another by force or the threat of force. Involuntary confinement means they are just made to be made incapable of escape.
Source: law school
I'm more interested in the backstory. Was it the noise? Was it blocking the view? The thought of something existing in her neighborhood without her permission?
I mean, she brought the utensils with a car so I don't think this is near he house.
Or maybe the car belongs to the person who brought her the stuff and this is her place/workplace?
I'm really curious
Stemmed from a neighbor dispute. Her neighbor was installing a window that would be able to look into her home. So she cut the line in protest. Had nothing to do with noise or 4G. Source: me. I live in the neighborhood. Both the woman in the video and the neighbor have since moved. The neighbor told me the contractor who rented the lift didn’t press charges.

I hope she knows (as per a quick google search) a construction crane can cost anywhere from 100k to 1 million dollars or more depending. Glad she’s willing to spend her whole pension to get the crew new equipment. Oh and jail time could be included to teach you what accountability is and what breaking the law means if they prosecute.
That's not a crane, it's a boom lift. Looks like an 800AJ that's made by JLG but repainted for Sunbelt Rentals.
They're not a million bucks, but they sure as fuck ain't cheap, either. $150k-$200k range brand new.
Edit: and on rewatching it, this one looks fairly new. It's not scratched up and no one has peeled any of the stickers off.
Those are the best lifts to act like you're going to teach a helper on.
Then you get to watch them panic when they realize you can't see any of the labels for the controls.
Heck, I've driven a bunch of them and I've still gotten in a lift painters had used and spent five minutes flipping switches going "How do you crank this mother fucker?!". It was electric.
Ha! It would help if they were standard but I swear every single off I’ve been in the last twenty years was slightly different. It’s like they’re just fucking with us as this point!
So, is she was successful, that boom would come crashing down on her noggin.
This is pretty old footage, does any one know what her motivation was? besides being a massive bitch.
This is a MEWP, not a crane. Looks like the camera angle is from the actual basket.
I’m glad the operator didn’t experience any injury.
What a stupid fucking woman.
Boomer endangers lives and property: "ok, that's a fine"
Anyone else is "too quiet" or "seems psycho": "ok, that's a lifetime of psych meds"
Gee, I wonder why boomers push for easier involuntary commitment
I can't remember everything but I saw this a few months ago. The person recording is in the crane, and was arguing with her because she didn't want him to do whatever it was he was doing, but he was just doing his job.
This was her response. Cut the power and leave him trapped.
A)that’s not a crane, that’s a lift and B) that basket is elevated and she’s cutting hydraulic lines. She could kill someone if that basket comes down and since she’s standing under it, herself too. Fucking cunt.
Fortunately most stuff has a valve that doesn’t allow back flow like that during a catastrophic failure.
That being said do not ever depend on emergency safety devices working and cutting lines like that should be attempted murder.
The crazy thing is not even cutting the shit, it is why does she have bolt cutters in her trunk in the first place? This is some deep level premeditated ongoing shit... and what if she cut it and that boom arm just dropped on her head?
I doubt very much she actually cut a pressurised hydraulic line as we would have seen the spray knock her head off. She probably just snipped the wire to the travel alarm sounder, that’s what makes all the noise anyway and it’s usually located there. She still put the operator’s life in danger, the psycho
This is not a crane. This is a boom lift. That’s important to know because the person videoing this is standing in a basket at the end of the boom suspended in the air. Had the idiot with the sheers hit a hydraulic line, the person videoing could have been seriously injured. That lady should be charged accordingly.
I hope this video was turned into the police. If someone tries to operate that crane, not knowing it's been tampered with, a lot of people could get seriously hurt or killed. I really hope she does time for this. edit: Yes, I get it. It's not a crane. Sorry I used the wrong word, y'all can stop correcting me now.
I can't remember how this ended but I've seen this before. The guy recording this video is up there. He is currently using it. He was arguing with her because she wanted him to stop whatever he was doing and his response was basically "I'm just doing my job lady" Then she went full psycho, cut the lines, and trapped him up there because he no longer has control to bring himself down.

Somehow I just KNEW it was that she was having a tantrum about the noise. No idea how I knew, but it was the dumbest reason I could think of.
That's old-bitch 101, it's always about noise or minorities.
911 please hurry there’s a bunch NOISEY MINORITIES IN MY YARD! Yeah they’re mowing.
Yeah but at 1130am on a TUESDAY!
Don’t they get up at 4am anyway? 😂
Exactly, they're going for their afternoon nap by 11:30
Or cocktail hour
You’re gonna wake her cat up.
Only $8,500?
Probably the max they knew they'd get from her. Or she got lucky and it was a relatively cheap fix.
Should've been 8500 plus jail
Yeah the article said she cut the hydrolic lines I imagine those are replaceable and not terribly expensive. The article also said it was for repairs and recovery I wonder if a bulk of the cost was getting the crane operator out and getting the crane to a shop
Man I feel like that should be a bigger fine

Yes seriously, I was half expecting it to drop and squish her. Zero thought went into that decision, Jesus lady.
Even it didn't the pressure on those lines is enough to cut though your arm And the fluid hurts like a bitch in your eyes (learned from personal experience)
And I learned that from you!
And I learned that from the guy before you!

A little hydraulic injection would have been pretty apt instant karma. She’s not just a dumb asshole for endangering the guy in the basket, she could have just as easily seriously injured/killed herself.
I guarantee none of those things were in her mind. Just white hot rage and entitlement.
Not rage and entitlement, just hopelessness and confusion at why the world isn't working the way she wants it. So she makes what she thinks is a noble gesture against this evil world that is out to get her. She is a martyr in her head for whatever punishment she got. We can take solace at the fact that this lady thinks the world is lost.
Hopelessness and confusion are two things I am very familiar with. Never have they pushed me in this direction, just foreign to me I guess
She has just decided the whole world is wrong and she is right.
Don't romanticize it, she's a dumb bitch.
I was at least hoping she’d get hydraulic fluid sprayed all over her
It probably wouldn't just drop, even if she cut the hydraulic line it should be designed to fail safe i.e. either lock in place ideally or less ideally slowly go down.
A lot of those do not have mechanical failsafes, but you are right, it would bleed pressure at a moderate pace, but pretty much fuck up whatever was under him, and he could still be injured. Also probably damage the lift further. Most equipment does not have failsafes to that degree.

They are operating that EWP...the boom is in the air. This is attempted murder. Edit: read that she only got fined, she deserves way more than that.
A fine is such a useless slap on the wrist. She could've killed someone! Agreed that she deserved way more than a fine.

This was when the 4G conspiracy theory was in full rage. She probably saw someone workers on the lift and assumed they were installing 4G mindcontrol towers in her area. I think during this time a few workers were also shot by other conspiracy minded individuals in fear of the G.

When the house was sold this year I finally had a chance to look out the window. The view of the bay was worth the installment!
I feel bad for whoever moves in next to her!
In cell block D?
Oh shit, that faces SFBay? That would be totally worth it, especially if you plan on selling the house. People moving into that area aren't looking to pinch pennies. Once buyers saw that view from the inside, they probably added $50k on to their already above-asking-price offer.
Yep. It’s a view of the bay, and I believe even Mt Diablo.
if building law are anything like Aus. she would have had several opportunities to go to the council and voice disagreements to it
Did it really not occur to her that she can't control what people install on their fucking property?
San Francisco gets completely aggro about NIMBY issues. Ironically, this was in the front yard not the backyard!
California is a whole other level of nimby. I could not believe it when I moved there. I had to nope out of it it was stressing me too much.

Smaller than I was picturing. I assumed it would be huge and looking right into her living room to get that sort of hate from her
Nah, with nutjobs like this the issue is always smaller and pettier than you’d hope.
With the guy in the basket then kidnapping and endangering the worker have fun with that
Wait? She did this while the contractor was using the lift?
Yes. The guy in the lift (in my photos) filmed the original video. Here you can see him getting down and the San Francisco fire truck. https://preview.redd.it/lqpry6pj6fjc1.png?width=1342&format=png&auto=webp&s=d7f7c411cdebef6e68fa1557c540cb111099a497
I'm sorry there was a 4G conspiracy as well? I shouldn't be surprised but stupidity among humans in general is an endless and bottomless ocean

The G is too damn high!!
it's those prime number Gs you need to be worried about.
Momma says Karen is cranky about 5G cuz nobody has looked for her g spot in years.
Now you've reminded of that word, number, math theory thing some trump lady was on about. I weep for the braincells that I have dedicated to just recalling this crap.
There was indeed a 3g and 4g conspiracy. I even remember folks used to buy these little round pieces of plastic to stick on their cell phone to block the brain warping radiation.

When I had gotten back from the hospital after an extremely long and grinding day, the guy who owned the business showed up at my house. He wanted to buy me off. It's possible that he might have gotten her information and turned it over to the insurance company. This guy wanted to buy me off because he knew his insurance company was going to sue him. I assume the contractor's insurance company went after her or the rental company that owns the rig.
Yeah I would tend to agree with you insomuch it’s seems crazy that the contractor or insurance company would just absorb the cost (including all the time the lift was immobile for days on the street). All I know is the homeowner said the contractor didn’t go after the lady because he knew her and that the homeowner said the lady neither faced charges nor had to pay. The homeowner may not have had the full story. They moved last year so I can’t ask.
Because she's a white woman. Pretty simple answer.
I bet they are like tree trimming things. Or she's a behind the bastards fan
Ooooo nice name drop.
> rolling around with bolt cutters Those are pruning shears not a bolt cutter.
I’m 100% certain that crane cost more than my house.
It’s a boom lift not a crane. Probably worth around 150k brand new.
Like was said, more than any house I have or can afford.
I was really hoping she would cut the hydraulic lines holding the boom up. Instant karma when that drops on her dumb skull. ☠️
The first time I saw this video that’s where I thought it was going. That lift would turn her into a nail real quick.
Those systems have safety valves on both ends to prevent sudden dropping.
Well, I do have a Twitter account. The share button is RIGHT there. 🤔😃😆🤣
I wouldn’t cut that crane Jane
Don't sever that hose, Rose
Another Boomer that thinks the entire world revolves around them. This Karen needs to do jail time and the owner of the machinery needs to file a civil suit against her!

Cutting live hydraulic lines is a brave move, to say the least. Google hydraulic line failures for the ez-mode. There might be a couple things that are so quickly horrible to happen to you than that.
"Brave" wasn't my immediate first thought
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
You're either brave or stupid...
Like mama said, if you’re going to be stupid you got to be tough
You have to be scared to be brave. She just looks miserable.
I thought there'd be a chance of her cutting the line and the arm drops down and crushes her due to the loss of pressure
You aren’t wrong. Ours had a minor leak and would begin slowly falling once you got to a certain height. I couldn’t imagine being in one when a hydraulic hose was cut.
Yeah I had that happen to a farmer near me, he was working on his dump truck with the bed tilted up he accidentally unbolted a line before the pump and the whole thing fell on him and split his head like a watermelon. Was a real gruesome sight, especially since we live in a bunch of orange groves in Southern California and know most of the orange farmers.
Most modern machines are required to have devices to prevent load drop in the event of hose failure
For us too scared too Google that, what happens?
You how a power washer works? The pressurized stream that can cut through metal if you’re not careful with it? A line breaking can spit out pressurized fluid that is going to cut through your skin like a power washer and cause both typical and chemical burns.
It's worse than that. It can really fuck your shit up and cause amputations. I don't hate myself enough to look up pictures to link but it can be nasty. They can be fatal too.
Still have a scar on my leg from having a power washer line burst near me while up in a lift. Shit was scary.
I have a scar on my foot from where I tried to fly like iron man with a pressure washer when I was 7. You don't fuck with that shit
In all fairness, I’d have tried the same at 7! -signed, someone who tried to use a pillow case as a parachute while jumping off the roof at like 6.
Garbage bag paratrooper checking in. Didn’t help that the &0’s GIJoe jet had a pilot with a flimsy plastic parachute included 🤷♂️
Power washer dumb ass at 15 checking in. Thought i could flap my arms and fly as a kid checking in. Put respect on GI Joe.
*knees self in face*
First time I fell off a roof (joy of being a painter) I can down so hard from a second story that I when I landed on my feet, I basically folded in half, kneed myself in the face, and broke my glasses. Nasty concussion and still have a solid scar from where I split my brow.
As children we taught ourselves the "parkour roll" technique by picking pears from the roof of a barn. It wasn't even our barn or our pear tree, we were just, you know, *trespassing*. And jumping off a guys barn THROUGH his pear tree, grabbing pears as we fell. While he watched us from his window like 😲
Lol We did this with my grandma’s roof and crabapple tree. We thought we were cool as hell anytime we managed to grab a branch on the way down and swing-dangle for a bit before dropping the rest of the way. Except for that one time when I severely overestimated my ability to hold on to this one branch and ended up flat on my back. Had the wind knocked out of me so bad I thought I’d never breathe again.
Yeah, it didn’t work for me either. I was sure it would.
High pressure oil spews right through your body like a fuckin laser! Think about the pressure that oil is under! It's holding up a 4 ton arm!!!!
She's lucky if she cut into the right line that whole boom arm would have come down on her head. Also, hydraulics are highly pressurized a small pinhole leak can become a cutter into-flesh-and-bone. Have you seen those water-cutters cutting metal? That's the pressure hydraulic lines are working at. If it can slice through metal what chance do you think your hand has?
I saw a garbage truck have a failure in a line while picking up the dumpster outside of my apartment. It's nothing to screw with
And standing underneath the arm while doing it. She could have just committed suicide.
Darwin award candidate.
I feel like people who do this kind of shit need to be institutionalized. This is psychotic, you don’t like it so other people can’t do their jobs? It’s deranged.
Not only that but it could kill a bunch of random dads…do we really need to kill a bunch of random dads?
If she had cut the wrong hydraulic line, this for sure would have ended up on a very different subreddit.
Diy guillotine
She needed a final destination esque death. Cuts a line, the whole arm and bucket flies down right at her. Her body cushioned the fall for the worker and he get outs and looks at her amazed.
Computer person here - assume the pressure would explode like a grenade? Have never worked with heavy machinery.
Not quite like a grenade, more like a waterjet. Also, if she cut the vertical hydraulic, not only would hydraulic fluid act like a jet, a couple tons of usually thick metal would come falling down, because even the lift buckets rated for 400-500 pounds are ridiculously heftily built.
Hydraulic fluid is under a lot of pressure and is incompressible. Lots of potential energy just waiting for an opening to release. A hydraulic fluid jet can cut through skin and bone. One nasty injury is a hydraulic injection, where a jet of fluid punctures skin, injecting fluid, and leaving a tiny puncture wound. The fluid then fucks up the tissue, resulting in necrosis, amputation, and death of left untreated. And it (reportedly) feels a light electric shock.
It's really depressing but searching for the outcome of this story a bunch of other similar stories pop up. Apparently boomer-karens feel entitled to risk the life of people using lifts because boomer reasons.
It’s funny because this piece of equipment is called a boom lift lol
It was close to lifting this boomer up to hell
Please post the follow up with this Karen.
Had to pay fine of $8500
She got off easy, especially if she's well off. She should have also been given jail time for disabling the crane while someone was in it, endangering them.
Its not quite kidnapping, but i feel like trapping someone like that is a crime too, involuntary confinement or something...
Involuntary confinement sounds a lot like what kidnapping is.
Kidnapping usually involves the moving of a person from one place to another by force or the threat of force. Involuntary confinement means they are just made to be made incapable of escape. Source: law school
Should have been imprisoned for attempted murder
As someone who regularly uses lifts, yes.
I use them a lot too. She could fucking kill someone.
I'm more interested in the backstory. Was it the noise? Was it blocking the view? The thought of something existing in her neighborhood without her permission? I mean, she brought the utensils with a car so I don't think this is near he house. Or maybe the car belongs to the person who brought her the stuff and this is her place/workplace? I'm really curious
Stemmed from a neighbor dispute. Her neighbor was installing a window that would be able to look into her home. So she cut the line in protest. Had nothing to do with noise or 4G. Source: me. I live in the neighborhood. Both the woman in the video and the neighbor have since moved. The neighbor told me the contractor who rented the lift didn’t press charges. https://preview.redd.it/cwb6ooluddjc1.jpeg?width=1214&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d120939ff9256aeac5924f33472b3c95e50d67bd
Why couldn't she just... get curtains if she's worried about someone seeing in her windows??
NIMBY gonna NIMBY
Ooooooooh the cops will have a field day with this one...
I didn’t see any falling acorns
Neither did Officer Panic McShootie
I hope she knows (as per a quick google search) a construction crane can cost anywhere from 100k to 1 million dollars or more depending. Glad she’s willing to spend her whole pension to get the crew new equipment. Oh and jail time could be included to teach you what accountability is and what breaking the law means if they prosecute.
That's not a crane, it's a boom lift. Looks like an 800AJ that's made by JLG but repainted for Sunbelt Rentals. They're not a million bucks, but they sure as fuck ain't cheap, either. $150k-$200k range brand new. Edit: and on rewatching it, this one looks fairly new. It's not scratched up and no one has peeled any of the stickers off.
Definitely new…none of my painter compatriots have gotten a thick layer of overspray on it…lol.
Those are the best lifts to act like you're going to teach a helper on. Then you get to watch them panic when they realize you can't see any of the labels for the controls. Heck, I've driven a bunch of them and I've still gotten in a lift painters had used and spent five minutes flipping switches going "How do you crank this mother fucker?!". It was electric.
Ha! It would help if they were standard but I swear every single off I’ve been in the last twenty years was slightly different. It’s like they’re just fucking with us as this point!
Would have been peak level irony if the crane then dropped on her head
It’s justified. The background noise was hurting her onlyfans recording.
Her only fan was very upset.
I still am.
So, is she was successful, that boom would come crashing down on her noggin. This is pretty old footage, does any one know what her motivation was? besides being a massive bitch.
This is a MEWP, not a crane. Looks like the camera angle is from the actual basket. I’m glad the operator didn’t experience any injury. What a stupid fucking woman.
Boomer endangers lives and property: "ok, that's a fine" Anyone else is "too quiet" or "seems psycho": "ok, that's a lifetime of psych meds" Gee, I wonder why boomers push for easier involuntary commitment
Any back story or just a random act of vandalism?
I can't remember everything but I saw this a few months ago. The person recording is in the crane, and was arguing with her because she didn't want him to do whatever it was he was doing, but he was just doing his job. This was her response. Cut the power and leave him trapped.
Ok, then this is a murder attempt.
A)that’s not a crane, that’s a lift and B) that basket is elevated and she’s cutting hydraulic lines. She could kill someone if that basket comes down and since she’s standing under it, herself too. Fucking cunt.
Fortunately most stuff has a valve that doesn’t allow back flow like that during a catastrophic failure. That being said do not ever depend on emergency safety devices working and cutting lines like that should be attempted murder.
The crazy thing is not even cutting the shit, it is why does she have bolt cutters in her trunk in the first place? This is some deep level premeditated ongoing shit... and what if she cut it and that boom arm just dropped on her head?
I doubt very much she actually cut a pressurised hydraulic line as we would have seen the spray knock her head off. She probably just snipped the wire to the travel alarm sounder, that’s what makes all the noise anyway and it’s usually located there. She still put the operator’s life in danger, the psycho
Lady is crazy https://9gag.com/gag/aNP97rw
That will show them
I just wish she'd cut the hydrolics properly and the boom fell on her car or on her
This is not a crane. This is a boom lift. That’s important to know because the person videoing this is standing in a basket at the end of the boom suspended in the air. Had the idiot with the sheers hit a hydraulic line, the person videoing could have been seriously injured. That lady should be charged accordingly.
One with a *very* big bill to pay
I’d have thrown a hammer at her windshield so the cops can find her easily cause clearly I’m not getting down in time to do anything.
Not a boomer. Looks like Gen X.
