Two killed in accident in Grobbendonk
"To a concrete floor pouring, the workers used a crane, concrete pump, which they concrete can produce. They were the crane drawing when one of the supports is broken. Then the crane overturned and two people buried beneath it hit, "said police chief Danny Fosselle.

"Two people were deceased, a third victim was taken to hospital."

This is why even in the line pump operators manual it says to NEVER use a crane to support the line, they are not made to support that kind of force.  Hopefully no one esle was hurt

I think Many used google translation. There was no crane involved in the accident, the police spokes men try to explain what kind of machine was used on the accident. The first thing that is being investigated is an outriggerThat appears to be broken of.

There was no crane involved in this accident. The guy that wrote the artical just doesn't realy know what a concretepump is so he calls in a ''crane,concretepump'' he means the pump.. It says the where rigging up the pump when an outrigger broke off..

The last thing I have heard. And I say I heard it as a rumor that the back outrigger that also is the water tank was damaged by frost. And again I will say I heard it as a rumor.
