They'll be lucky they don't get sued by the feds.; -- unless they are federal employees, then everything is OK. == LOL

Either way, that is a BNSF train, you know they will have something to say about it.

I see forks tilted down in front, load not resting against the back stop.

Dumb ass has no common sense, unable to think thru a situation.

Even an IT guy can spot that, PROBLEM...

That's what you get today, would not know when to come in out of the rain unless told

Failure on a grand scale. Would have been better off using a crane as using 2 forklifts was asking for an accident.

Forks were tilted down because the fork lifts couldn't lift the load, they weren't able to tilt the load back. I'd say its pretty hard to coordinate 4 fork trucks.

Exactly my thoughts. Hard to believe they were stupid enough to think they were going to pull off the coordination of that lift!

They just over estimated how much the fork trucks could lift. Shoulda done 2-3 lifts   But it’s easy to see after the fact

Having been on the root cause side of a few bad days, I don't judge too much. Plus somebody needs to keep Hulcher's bank accounts topped off.

I guess simple addition, subtraction, and division was to hard for these guys.

I took a closer look and see there were more than 2 forklifts.
The owner of the plywood and lumber company I worked for bought derailed box car loads of plywood all the time. SP would call and say they had a carload and he would buy it cheap sight unseen. One day the boss told me we would have a box car that had derailed somewhere on our spur at the loading dock the next morning. I got to work and proceeded to open the car doors and thought something is wrong. One boxcar had a perfectly fine orderly plywood load in it while the 2nd carload looked like a half shuffled deck of cards on the top bundles. I double checked the car numbers and of course the derailed car was the perfect load and our scheduled load was the messed up load which had not derailed. ::)
