Since when did YOU move to Calgary? And since when was your CRANE THIS SMALL, huh?

A miscommunication appears to have caused a mobile crane to hit a light rail transit train in northwest Calgary on Wednesday, injuring six people and snarling traffic in the area.

Witnesses told CBC News the crane section of an Enmax boom truck was hanging above the C-Train line and swung toward the oncoming train at 10:18 a.m. MT, smashing into its front window.

"I just heard the smash and everybody was laying on the ground," said Sebastien Gariepy, 27, who fell off his seat. "Everybody screamed all at once."

The impact derailed the three-car train between the Brentwood and Dalhousie C-Train stations, throwing many of its 30 passengers to the floor.

The crane then swung out over traffic on Crowchild Trail.

"It was actually quite quiet, which is probably a good thing because cars were swerving to miss the crane," said Angela Principalli, who was driving by at the time.

The C-Train driver was rushed to hospital and is in serious but stable condition, Calgary paramedics said.

TL;DR version - crane guy doing maintenance for an energy company starts work too early, and the boom hits a transit train. A few people get owned (including the driver) but no one is dead.

Basically, a small-scale version of this.

Pshh, I always thought his crane was bigger than one on a boom truck.

aka his is a different type of crane. This must have been his cousin or something...

Poozy's crane gets bigger with every post. Apparently, he said something amazingly stupid and it shrunk.

[Peaceblossom]

I bet if I got out of my house more often I would have noticed this. Oh well.

lol

What a crock of shit. How would anybody know if the boom was swinging into the direction of the train?

I smell coverup. I bet the government agency responsible for the train system dropped the damn ball and either gave a wrong start up time for the crane or a switch failed that gave the train the green light.

And also, the witnesses that noted the position of the boom may well have been in cars on either side of the road.

You should be slapped for pulling such a stupid stunt.
