At least he's handy to the chippy whilst he waits for help
I can guess what happened there the trailer dipped as he was turning so rocked on the eye hitch and she just walked off

Sure is there not a fresh 13 ton hitachi 1/2 mile up the road at G Kennedys? It and the mighty 100-90 would soon have her stood up again.

I think the post has been deleted, I had the same link sent to me last night but it no longer works now , it was a video of a steel frame shed being put up (quite a large shed), looked like they were putting in the gable end legs and the whole lot collapsed in a big heap and took a telehandler over with it. The whole lot just folded at the base of the legs.

Looks like it. Was a very large shed I’d have thought, so perhaps the subject of a legal case of U.K. based (which I think it was).
@Eden.Agri.AD - today they have an American outfit with a new invention 9x9 round baler…

I ain't no shed building expert but surely had forgotten to put the diagonal braces in first
Looks like it was windy but why would this happen, no side braces fitted? but they had already got purlins on
Beat me to it

Thought that was Dunloy before I read it, was at CB fuels often enough across from the school.

Just to put that in perspective , when they built the Barton Bridge over the ship canal to carry the motorway , that collapsed . The main contractors had a subby in to do the steelwork , and they paid their steel erectors on tonnage in the air . It was coming up for a holiday and they were after bonus , so they stuck a whole lot of heavy steel up without any bracing , and predictably the whole lot came down . There were "H" section girders about 5 feet across the flat and nearly the same on the web that had come down with such force that they had cold forged themselves in a perfect "mould" over the concrete coffer dams on the ground . One chap actually rode it down , and walked away , but another wasn't quite so agile / lucky , and they had to get a shovel and literally scrape him up into a sack . Just to put a finish to the tale , they got Dorman from Middlesborough to sort it , and employed a professor from Manchester Uni to supervise . He banned ALL hammers or other percussive tools - wooden forms had to be made on the ground and screwed into place . He had one man who's only job was to carry a pint of tea for him and to get another if it went cold . At the end they floated the centre section in on barges and the prof rode it in , with 4 winches and crossed steel cables attached , each cable had a white hanky tied to the exact centre and when they crossed , that was the bridge in position . There were just a couple of men to slip the pins in to attach it and they came down in absolute wonderment at the pinpoint accuracy - they said the pins didn't hardly need a sledge hammer to drive them home . They must have done a decent job - it's still there !
