I really don't know, but the look on the older gentleman was priceless though and the guy that was in charge of the crane the one that was running that was funny wonder why he went running lol. And what happen to the barking dog I hope it was not killed.

Yeah, there's way to little commotion after the fact, not like if that were to happen in real life. Everyone's just kinda standing around like they're being paid to stand there, except for the operator running away.
