I reckon the movers did not deliver the ballast for the crane, which had not been DI'd properly by the MT driver, then the stacker had witheld the required anchoring as someone else might need it, the plods didn't close the road as they had less than 28 days notice of the requirement - and anyway were sleeping off shift, the riggers had left the wheels off as they had been robbed to keep the display jet flying, the sooties had left heavy engines in, the leckies (DFs) had not removed the fully charged [ and therefore heavier than flat] batteries, the fairy w***ers left all the heavy boxes and radar bits in, ATC denied involvement as the jet was not operating under its own power - that let OC Ops plus the SATCO and Fire Setion off the hook too, GEF said they were not multi skilled so didn't do cranes - chains and slings yes - big yellow cranes no, OC WRAFs said it was in an area where her girls were not allowed out of the compound so it wasn't them .....

must have been the JT armourers fault, always seemed to be the case in Germany
