They must feel confident they have it rigged right since they are removing the bolts that hold it in place

Rigging looks good to me, it's the brim of the Generals hat that I'd be concerned about.

Absolutely. That's how Big Blue went down. Good thing is, the statue doesn't have much surface area to catch wind. He's obviously pretty aerodynamic. He's survived hurricane force winds more than a few times.

If you watch his boom, it's swaying in the wind. The operator has his swing brake on, so all of that boom movement is flex. If he makes this lift, he better lower the load quickly.

I noticed the sway a bit ago.

I've built a few tele-booms too. Not quite that large. But not far from it.

Sadly the truth will never be known, but at least Stacy Head is trying to hold Landrieu accountable for all money spent on this cluster project. Landrieu will lie through his teeth since he DGAF


.... " The chairwoman of the New Orleans City Council’s budget committee is calling for a full accounting of public money spent on the removal of four monuments associated with the Confederacy and Jim Crow.

Councilwoman Stacy Head, the only member of the City Council to vote against removing the monuments, says she accepts that they have come down, but also says the public deserves to know what taxpayer dollars were spent to do so.

“I need to know what money was used, how did we get that money if it was from outside sources, what city money was used and what did we give up as a city to go through that endeavor for him,” Head said, referring to Mayor Mitch Landrieu.

The Landrieu administration has kept secret many details about the monument removal effort after contractors and city employees were threatened with violence if they participated in taking down the Battle of Liberty Place monument and statues of Confederate leaders Jefferson Davis, P.G.T. Beauregard and Robert E. Lee.
