The news on the crane collapse in Brisbane is now suggesting the two 'workers' might have been photographers.

Always sad at any time but always seems more so close to Christmas.

Yes it was a 41 year old photographer (deceased) and his 17 year old son (critical) who jumped clear of the collapsing crane. The crane was a truck crane extended to the max distance :(
They apparently were taking commercial photos of the work site.

Sad for everyone involved at anytime

But never let it be said that photography is not dangerous, always do a risk assesment
