They did a great job, but I doubt these guys ever even took a physics course ever…not taking anything away from them. Their two heavy wreckers each outweighed the shorty semi truck and trailer which carried lightweight food products. Spreading the load between two of these wreckers would give them all the advantage they needed, and they knew that.

@@garyparr5431 i totally agree with you , I was an Ironworker for 30 years , you couldn’t just set a crane up and not watch the position of the boom and also not making sure both cranes were lifting up at the same time because of the weight of the load. . Just like you said they have to know how the weight ranges their rigging , wire ropes , ( we called them chokers ) , shackles hooks and nylon straps , can take before breaking. Besides knowing what to look for in their rigging before they start the job to make sure it’s not too worn from a previous job. They have to take into account of the bracing of the bridge to work around it and not hit it with the boom of the cranes . They have to know where to hook up the rigging on the truck and or trailer depending on which one they are making the pick on . No these guys know what they’re doing and did a great job.

They did an amazing job. I watched on the internet the whole time. It was slow and tedious, kind of boring from my standpoint, (not from theirs, I'm sure) but it was fascinating to see their skill and talent.
