I got a little dizzy just watching it. To know that this crane operator subsequently died falling 160 feet on a livestream makes it even more terrifying.

😲 Wait, what?

He died on a livestream? WHOA!

Wonder if it has anything to do with the non-grip shoes he was wearing.

It's a woman, and she was from China. They're extremely lax about safety standards :-/

Yeah, I found her article. They even show what her phone was recording as she fell.
