In the 80's in Victoria two cranes smashed into each other.  The impact caused one operator to fall out and to his death.  He was deemed to be the guy that rotated past his stop marker, and he was also found to be intoxicated by alcohol.  Not sure if adjustments have been made now to stop this from happening.

And when St. Andrew's Square was being built didn't the crane collapse?

Let's hope there's no "St. Andrew's crane curse", considering what previously stood at this site.

I don't think so, I think they'll be dismantled the same way they were erected.

 

I harken for the days when cranes helped each other, regardless of political stripe, race, creed, religion, brand, and skin colour.

Cranes In My Head would be a good name for a rock band.

Don't we already have that song?  

 

I got cranes in my head and they won't go,

Condos in my head and they won't go.  

But the blasting still rattles oh...

It's taking forever to remove the final bits of excavation from this site.

Scaffolding is being installed above the sidewalk along the entire block of Vancouver Street. Excavation continues.

I'd love to see townhouses like these built in 1000 block of Mason Street. This:

in place of this:

They'd be the perfect compliment to the project currently under construction on the former St. Andrew's School site.

Does this project not have a name?

I think 1008 is the name from the big numbers on the side of the building in one of the renderings.
