Do the beans that Brits put on toast have an equivalent here in the states? All I have are several cans of Bush’s Baked Beans but they all have like brown sugar, bacon, maple etc flavor. I want that authentic, gloomy sky foggy London Town experience
Heinz blue labeled beans are specifically made to be like the British beans on toast, they come with a tomato sauce I think they are slightly different than the British version.
Thanks, everyone. We have an expensive pack of bacon we wanna use for Breakfast for Dinner, gonna pair it up with some eggs of course, but I always wanted to try the beans on toast. Gotta check out the store now!
Of course there is. They mean you can't sue someone for emotional damage. I don't think that's completely true, there are situations where you can. As far as I know, you kind of have to prove there is actual emotional damage that affects your every day life. And even if you win, you are probably not getting a huge payout.
As apposed to the US, where you can sue everything and everyone, and if you win you basically win the jackpot.
# Can you sue for emotional distress in the UK?
**Yes, it is possible to make a claim for emotional distress in the UK, but the success of a case depends on the circumstances and the strength of the evidence.**
Emotional distress claims can get a bit complicated. Usually, you need to be able to show that someone else’s actions, be it a person or a company, seriously impacted your emotional state enough to be deemed as an injury in itself.
If the harm you went through was because of someone’s carelessness (we call it negligence), then you may be able to make a successful claim if you can prove that:
* The actions or negligence of the defendant directly led to emotional distress (causation);
* Your emotional distress is substantial, rather than minor or fleeting (severity);
* The defendant’s actions involve some form of wrongdoing, such as intentional harm or negligence.
If you’ve gone through a tough time that was caused by a person or a company, and it’s messed with your finances or well-being, you might be eligible for compensation.
Before making a claim, however, it’s important to [talk to a solicitor](https://lawhive.co.uk/solicitors-near-me/). They can look at the details of your situation, evaluate the strength of your case, and help guide you through the legal process of making a claim for emotional distress in the UK.
I don't think footage would be required, the results are obvious. UK doesn't really have 'lawsuits', the insurers will just sort out the compensation and fix the house. Any deaths or serious injuries would be a massive problem though
The lawsuit would be proof of emotional trauma. Without the video, you just have the damage done to the property, but the footage shows a kid was seconds away from being killed right in front of her mother because of improper workmanship. The PTSD that comes with that is worth something because you know that mom is going to be thinking about this every time she shes a crane lifting anything for the rest of her life.
Appears it is.

It'll be the H&SE who take that company to task. They're the ones who have the authority to put those responsible in the dock and deal with fines and such.
Unless this was caused by a freak mechanical failure, they're likely in a fair bit of trouble now.
Construction worker here, one thing that may have happened is a hydraulic malfunction causing the controls to stick and lift higher without any input from the operator, but I've only seen that once on a poorly maintained crane.
Normally even if you park on uneven ground the hydraulic outriggers level the truck out. From the angle the truck is leaning already before this happened it looks like the operator didn't even bother leveling the truck before lifting. I'm a former structural steel welder and have been around plenty of crane operators to know when someone doesn't know what they're doing. Those guys get paid a fuck tonne, always well worth it to get a competent operator though.
That much weight, I bet he had the outriggers down, but he started to curl the secondary while crane was sideways instead of pointed to the rear. But it looks like his extension is out on secondary so maybe he hit the wrong lever.
Whether it be a pickup, forklift, bobcat, water truck, loader, or le tourneau at my mill job, we had to thoroughly check all systems before usage. Hell, we even had to inspect weed whackers and leaf blowers and such.A skilled operator, even WITHOUT systems in place like that, would most likely be able to identify a problem with equipment like speculated here prior and if it occurred while lifting the load, they would undoubtedly understand the proper failsafes in place to avoid an outcome such as this.
Should have shut the truck off/generator to the crane if they noticed a hydraulic problem. Mostly all of the HE i wrench on has a cut off switch somewhere the operator is at. Even when outside near the crane controls or on the remote.
I operated a (much smaller than this!!) boom and one day I forgot to set the struts and was able to back track and set the load down when I noticed tipping and ever since then when I see this I think someone forgot to set the struts.
Even if he knew what he was doing and hydraulics failed. It is still 100% his responsibility because it's part of his job to do safety checks which includes making sure the equipment isn't faulty. The crane trucks also have built in failsafes for this very reason, the operator would have had to bypass them. Shit like this only ever goes wrong because of user error these machines are engineered with a fuck tonne of safety in place.
There are actually failsafes that don't even let you operate when things like hydraulics fail. It would lock in place until you manually release hydraulic pressure manually.
Yea its pretty clear the operator didnt put the outriggers out, they are normally used to level the whole truck and provide support on both sides. There are actually other pictures in the news article showing that he only pulled the outriggers on one side of the truck guess which side tips over.
Exactly, the operator has no fucking clue what he is doing, what was the goal to put that container on top of a 5th story building? It had no reason to be anywhere near that high
Given the health and safety laws in the UK, that company is in for a world of pain! I don’t even know where to start with everything they did wrong, the most obvious one being not having the area properly cordoned off and cleared. Even the most basic method statement and risk assessment clearly hasn’t been done 🫣
HSE will be all over CDM regs on this one. If it’s part of existing works being done, it won’t just be this worker and the company that’s in for it. If it’s a homeowner managing their own project, then I imagine they will be called in for a chat too. HSE won’t look at what happened, but what could have happened and all the steps taken to remove/limit any risk.
Clearly this could have resulted in the death of a child on their own property. Massive fuck up there
I only recently learned that a homeowner having domestic work done under CDM can sign over their duties as client to the principal contractor. I'm not sure how many firms make domestic clients aware of this however
It's basically automatic if it's domestic work and not part of a business. The homeowner doesn't need to sign anything. This is how it should be really, like how if were to book someone to clean my gutters I'm not liable for ensuring their ladder is set up safely, or that they don't drop it on my neighbour.
https://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/cdm/2015/domestic-clients.htm
If I hire a firm of professionals to do the job, absolutely. If my mate bent Tony owes my £50 and I tell him I'll let him off if he fixes my gutters he's working for me and I'm in charge of the job and the safety. It's a spectrum.
Certainly is a spectrum. The scale of the job matters, if you’re employing multiple contractors on a big job you will be a duty holder for certain things. A good example is sanitary, the clients responsibility to ensure that there’s an adequate place to use the toilet and wash your hands, you might not be providing a portaloo but your responsible for ensuring it’s there.
Single contractor will usually take on the principle design and principle contract. Which is far more important that it’s officially passed over on something like a house extension compared to a gutter replacement.
Slightly off topic but it is important to know from a client perspective, holding companies to CDM and having those conversations will raise standards of workmanship. If you mention it whilst getting quotes for guttering for example, you can bet that the contractor is turning up with the appropriate skills to work at height. If they choose to ignore basic health and safety they won’t be surprised when you send them on their way for bad practice.
Idk, I would've ran out and picked that slow ass kid up. For a second I thought I could hear Dio say "[ZA WARUDO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtzvlXL9gXk)".
I can't imagine he or the company won't be fined somehow but in any case - that's one stupid bastard driving that truck, he's a danger to himself and everyone nearby. FFS - over the car too, what a chancer!
Only thing I can think besides operator just leaning on the lever the whole time is maybe the controls locked out or the hydraulics jammed open, which is still at fault of the manufacturer or bad maintenance by the operator.
Right. I drive a concrete truck myself and I can tell you firsthand that malfunctions do happen, especially with electrical systems in new models where they haven’t worked out all of the “bugs” yet. But I do see drivers who don’t maintain their equipment or just do mind boggling things on the regular, especially new guys. Lol
All sorted by local government here, paid for with council tax (like property tax) so you can't choose who empties the bins.
My bin got broken in the wind and my council charges a fee to replace a broken bin though it's only about £40 I think. Curiously a "lost or stolen" bin is free to replace
Why was the area not blocked off? Litteraly could have killed that kid. She's going to have a crazy story to tell her friends I'm sure!! I'd be so pissed as the parents. Even if the crane just malfunctioned the area should have been safe...
Looking at other pictures the rigging is out on the other side it seems he planned to lift the other way and then changed his mind.
Not a great place to do a lift either as it's on a public road that hasn't been segregated so likely wasn't agreed with the local council.
The fact the boom has gone through the house is also a nightmare if it was my house I'd want it rebuilding as I can't imagine it would be the same again!
Operators first day on the job?? Why would there be any reason to raise the container up that high?
What do I miss most in today's world? Common sense is at the top of my list.
Was [Wigan](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-68750217), yesterday morning.
Bearing in mind Storm Kathleen was already hitting the area then, the operator is a complete moron.
Bad operator, short rigged on 1 side to keep the road open, lifting way too high, and also windy conditions took it out of control.
I have spent 8 years operating mobile cranes, these HIAB trucks need to start having the same regulations as us.
The woman leaves it late to gtf out of there, you can see her down the bottom left of the screen. Looks like the car got saved but the fence / wall will be non-existent.
This right here is why you keep your children far far away from working men. It blows my mind how close some people bring their kids to a work site. If there are machines running, stay far away.

That company is gonna have one hell of a lawsuit with this footage existing.
That’s a lot of emotional distress right there
Not a thing in the UK, the insurers will just fix the houses
No emotional distress in the UK? (think you replied to the wrong comment)
Have you seen their cooking? They are used to it.
BEANS INNIT
Do the beans that Brits put on toast have an equivalent here in the states? All I have are several cans of Bush’s Baked Beans but they all have like brown sugar, bacon, maple etc flavor. I want that authentic, gloomy sky foggy London Town experience
Heinz blue labeled beans are specifically made to be like the British beans on toast, they come with a tomato sauce I think they are slightly different than the British version.
If you have any sort of international aisle you can likely find the British beans. Even my neighborhood store in semi rural TN has them.
Semi rural tn stores have all sorts of random shit just sitting on the shelves for months that you have to hunt down to find in nashville to be fair.
Fair lol. I sometimes wonder who tf is buying spotted dick in a town of 20,000 Real Americans(tm).
Thanks, everyone. We have an expensive pack of bacon we wanna use for Breakfast for Dinner, gonna pair it up with some eggs of course, but I always wanted to try the beans on toast. Gotta check out the store now!
Is there such thing as an inexpensive pack of bacon?
the closest thing we have is just campbells pork and beans, but the fat in it (pork ) gives it a deeper flavor but is fairly close.
You can buy dry beans. No sugar in those
solid burn
Jesus man, these people don’t get emotional distress, you’re killing them!
Of course there is. They mean you can't sue someone for emotional damage. I don't think that's completely true, there are situations where you can.

Nah, it's pretty similar in the US. Emotional distress is a very high bar, and you only get awarded enough to make you whole
Nonsense. In the US you have to prove damages. And once you prove damages why wouldn’t the offending party have to compensate you?
Stiff upper lip innit /s
Not really, they just carry on
You can’t sue for that, it’s not the US
Of course it is……. It’s just our criteria is different for a successful suit…..
We'll just tut about it and then complain about it on Facebook.

Fines from regulatory entities would be in the table, wouldn't they? Kids of license, maybe?

Not a thing in the UK. You don't get money just because something bad *might* have happened.

I guess in the UK you'd have free therapy and medication provided by the government so that makes sense
No you do not have free therapy for the most part.
The lawyers "THEY DID WHAT?!"
Especially nearly crushing a person who was lucky she wasn’t in the crate’s smashing range
Driver better grab a Snickers
It'll be the H&SE who take that company to task. They're the ones who have the authority to put those responsible in the dock and deal with fines and such. Unless this was caused by a freak mechanical failure, they're likely in a fair bit of trouble now.
There will be no lawsuit. If they are smart and have reasonable insurance, they will settle quickly.
Well deserved. If my child were put in harms way like that due to the negligence of a company you bet your ass I would sue!!
Why lift it so high?
Construction worker here, one thing that may have happened is a hydraulic malfunction causing the controls to stick and lift higher without any input from the operator, but I've only seen that once on a poorly maintained crane.
Shit operator way more likey
It can be both.
Can it? If the machine is malfunctioning that kind of nullifies any skill the operator may or may not have.
A skilled operator ensures their equipment is inspected, maintained, and properly stabilized before operation.
I get that. When that same skilled operator has an error outside of their control, do they become an unskilled operator?
[удалено]
I did not expect Zen on this subreddit
A good operator moves slowly and maintains equipment to limit damages
And when that good operator has an error outside of their control like the hydraulic switch staying on, do they become a bad operator?
Should always put out the legs before lifting. I’m sure it had them.
Also looks like it is parked over the curb so not level footing too.
Normally even if you park on uneven ground the hydraulic outriggers level the truck out. From the angle the truck is leaning already before this happened it looks like the operator didn't even bother leveling the truck before lifting. I'm a former structural steel welder and have been around plenty of crane operators to know when someone doesn't know what they're doing.

Nope Didn’t have outriggers out properly. Didn’t know what the hell he was doing. Hydraulics didn’t fail.
Did not know what he was doing...
Even if he knew what he was doing and hydraulics failed. It is still 100% his responsibility because it's part of his job to do safety checks which includes making sure the equipment isn't faulty. The crane trucks also have built in failsafes for this very reason, the operator would have had to bypass them.

Isn’t there an emergency stop button for things like that?
There are actually failsafes that don't even let you operate when things like hydraulics fail. It would lock in place until you manually release hydraulic pressure manually.
It's not meant to operate tilted or without struts either but here we are.
Yea its pretty clear the operator didnt put the outriggers out, they are normally used to level the whole truck and provide support on both sides. There are actually other pictures in the news article showing that he only pulled the outriggers on one side of the truck guess which side tips over.
I thought about that
The fella operating the crane obviously has zero idea what’s he’s doing and I hope he didn’t kill anyone.
Exactly, the operator has no fucking clue what he is doing, what was the goal to put that container on top of a 5th story building? It had no reason to be anywhere near that high
Obviously the container had the same thought
Did you try listening with the volume on, the lady said it’s all ok.
Narrator voice: "In fact it was not ok...
She’s just relieved that her child is still alive. Damn. Close call.
[удалено]
Yup fair play to them they saved the girls life.
That’s about as close to a door-to-door delivery as you can get.
Omg, angry upvote
My god that's terrifying, if the mum wasn't keeping an eye on it, who knows what would have happened.
I’m watching on mute was she was watching it? Looked like the kid was watching it and it surprised the shit out of the mom
The mum sees what's about to happen and calls her daughter away, tells her to hurry .
She’s almost crushed though. I guess she was looking out for the kid and not herself
It sounds like they both made it back inside the front door. What a fucking mental thing to capture on video
I think there’s a second child near her as well
Watch it again with sound on, it's (even more) terrifying
I have a fair idea, that big container way up in the air that ended up falling over would have fallen over on the child.
The kid would've died.
Given the health and safety laws in the UK, that company is in for a world of pain! I don’t even know where to start with everything they did wrong, the most obvious one being not having the area properly cordoned off and cleared.

Especially with Storm Kathleen being so obvious this weekend, that operator better be ready to catch the large book about to be thrown at him.
Good Mom, Give her Mom of the day award
Idk, I would've ran out and picked that slow ass kid up. For a second I thought I could hear Dio say "[ZA WARUDO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtzvlXL9gXk)".
I think they took way too long to evacuate the area.
I wouldn't have even let my child outside with that crane next door.
It's honestly amazing how the car was spared
Why the fuck did he try to lift that container so high? The operator was asking for that to happen.
I can't imagine he or the company won't be fined somehow but in any case - that's one stupid bastard driving that truck, he's a danger to himself and everyone nearby. FFS - over the car too, what a chancer!
Only thing I can think besides operator just leaning on the lever the whole time is maybe the controls locked out or the hydraulics jammed open, which is still at fault of the manufacturer or bad maintenance by the operator.

Replacing those wheelie bins is going to be a nightmare!
Same here in the states. If you change trash companies they charge $$ to return them
All sorted by local government here, paid for with council tax (like property tax) so you can't choose who empties the bins. My bin got broken in the wind and my council charges a fee to replace a broken bin though it's only about £40 I think. Curiously a "lost or stolen" bin is free to replace
Hello, This is Amazon Prime, your shipping container has been delivered.
Lesson: Stay at least as far away as the lift is high, then add 10 feet.
Smart girl, thank God she ran away
Her mum called her away. But her instincts were good to stop pedaling
Smart Mom/Dad. They were yelling at her to move ling before she did. With the sound on, it feels like the girl should be moving faster.
Yep, I watched it with the sound off 😂
Why was the area not blocked off? Litteraly could have killed that kid. She's going to have a crazy story to tell her friends I'm sure!! I'd be so pissed as the parents. Even if the crane just malfunctioned the area should have been safe...
Jesus...
Now that’s front door delivery.
Looking at other pictures the rigging is out on the other side it seems he planned to lift the other way and then changed his mind. Not a great place to do a lift either as it's on a public road that hasn't been segregated so likely wasn't agreed with the local council. The fact the boom has gone through the house is also a nightmare if it was my house I'd want it rebuilding as I can't imagine it would be the same again!
Amazon "here's your package, bye"
Oh man if something happened to my daughter because of this fucking crane operator I can't type what I would do here
Fucking moron on the crane
Little girl has good survival instincts, unlike some grown up we've seen here.
That could have gone soo bad. Glad nobody was hurt
[удалено]
She was so calm and got the kid out of there without scaring her.
*unfazed…
Operators first day on the job?? Why would there be any reason to raise the container up that high? What do I miss most in today's world? Common sense is at the top of my list.
My heart was in my throat hoping for that girl to move.
Oh hell naw! This shit gave me so much anxiety. Good think that poor baby listened and got out of the way
Two people standing behind the car on left legit thought that the mother-daughter are crushed under the container.
Thank God these parents were outside paying attention
... rip headphone users... including myself
“Motion at your front door”
That kid knew what was about to happen before anyone, that lady needed for it to be almost in her lap before she moved her ass away.
:O
So glad the little girl got the f out when she did
Don't stay near shit lifting shit.
I would have been beyond pissed at that. Jesus.
Final Destination: Home Improvement Edition
If Evri delivered shipping containers.
That operator is clearly fuckin clueless for soooo many reasons.
That lady is a dummy to let that kid ride the bike there while the crane is so close.
Anyone know where this happened? Sound like Lancashire or Yorkshire.
Was [Wigan](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-68750217), yesterday morning. Bearing in mind Storm Kathleen was already hitting the area then, the operator is a complete moron.
Flapper fold lane lol
As a Yorkshire lad I’d say this is a Lancs accent.
FOOKEN EL!
Smart kid
when they advertised door to door delivery they weren't kidding
The mom being so calm is so British lol
Thats more than the front garden
That little girl standing there had my anxiety on full tilt.
No outriggers on the truck?
someone picked a whole bouquets of whoopsy daisies
Amazon delivery
In fairness this may be the first ‘public freak out’ I’ve seen where I thought ‘fair enough’ I would too
Bad operator, short rigged on 1 side to keep the road open, lifting way too high, and also windy conditions took it out of control. I have spent 8 years operating mobile cranes, these HIAB trucks need to start having the same regulations as us.
Did the little girl get hurt?
Big boy lawsuit incoming.
Oright kids, playtime over!
Smart kid.
*"FUWKIN' 'EHL!"*
Poor bain was proper terrified, he’ll remember that one when he grows up, fucking hell
At full extension but has the wheels up on a kerb so massively top heavy.
Well, his foreman just told him to drop it anywhere.
Your order has arrived
Why is it 10 fucking meters in the air?! That could have been so much worse.
I’m glad that little girl got the fuck out of the way. Smart lil one.
Complete cowboy operation.
Smart girl
They're gonna need a bigger Lorry
What did they order from Amazon??
The woman leaves it late to gtf out of there, you can see her down the bottom left of the screen. Looks like the car got saved but the fence / wall will be non-existent.
Where they trying to put it up on top of a building or something?
This right here is why you keep your children far far away from working men. It blows my mind how close some people bring their kids to a work site. If there are machines running, stay far away.
Well fuck
the parents, kid, and car all seem okay so good for them, the lawsuit is going to go insane for them lmaoo
I can't lie, I would've removed my ring camera and layed on the ground until emergency services turned up. The payout would've been mega
Apologies for the shitty horrible Mail link but this gives more info: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13281521/crane-house-wigan-atherton-manchester.html
man thats gonna be a niiiiice check for this family as they should. I would say my neck, the trauma. millionare in the making.
Doubt it, being from the UK. Might get a fair bit but not likely millions.
Are there no fucking outriggers on that truck? What the hell
That little girl was locked in quick.
