Driving through downtown Portland yesterday and saw a tower crane with a load swinging way too high

It was a big steel beam, looked like a column, and the tag line was just dangling. Operator was probably trying to clear a rooftop obstacle, but that's a lot of uncontrolled swing for a city street. What's the highest you've ever had to fly a load over a site?

My buddy in Seattle had to clear a 22-story antenna once.

That 22-story job is one of those things where you really hope the elevator cooperates (they usually don't). @elizabethwhite is probably right about the coffee though, I'd need a whole pot just to look at that thing from the ground.

Looks like someone skipped their coffee AND the rigging handbook.
