A local tree-removal service was doing work in a North Chattanooga neighborhood today. At some point, they overloaded the crane they were using. It tipped over and went through the roofs of two nearby houses. They successfully removed it by bringing in another crane to somehow lift it out. The entire story played out over a few hours.
Not that this story in and of itself is of much interest to anyone here on VTTW (unless you happen to be one of the unfortunate homeowners). But I was just wondering- how is it that some local mom & pop tree service can scramble
two cranes to a single jobsite in one afternoon, but a certain major university 90 minutes to the north hasn't been able to requisition
one crane in four months (and counting)?
