I was working a 120-ton crawler near Pier 86 last month, moving a steel beam about 60 feet up. A sudden gust off the water caught the load and started it swinging toward the crew's tool trailer. I had to drop the load line fast and swing the boom the other way to counter it, which worked but put a real strain on the rigging. Has anyone else had a close call with wind that made you change your setup for the day?
He sprayed it right on the display and wiped it with a paper towel. I told him that stuff can wreck the anti-glare coating, but he said it was fine because it was 'just glass.' I keep my own bottle of the proper avionics-safe wipes in my toolbox for a reason. How many of you have seen this happen, and what do you say to stop it?
