Came across this video today of a not-so-successful effort to put an A-4 on a pedestal.

Was everyone else's video followed by the female Legolas in the gymnasium?

I have used cranes for large tree removal several times and am glad our operators are better than that. Trees falling through the roof is bad for customer relations.

About that A4, just sad.

That archeress, she was speaking elvish; or at least it sounded something like that.

The crane video was sad ....and the archery kinda cool (pretty light weight bow and short distance...but the speed was amazing)
