Update – Crane tears roof off packed bus

Following a tip off from the ed.general newsgroup I tracked the “Crane” down to the New Street bus station devlopment opposite the new Edinburgh council buildings on New Street.

Interesting to note that the boom that caused the accident does in fact fold in the middle.
