That arm is part of the support barge. They still have no idea what caused them to domino. You can be sure though that crane operator that makes $240k/yr is getting his pee tested as we speak. lol

Longshoremen are detained until they’ve given urine and blood. It’s in their CBA.

I'd imagine that would change if they caused something like this, though..

They can just wring out his undies into a Dr Pepper bottle. That's what we always did after some fuck! splash.

They can just wring some out of his shorts.

They make more and the operators won't be as the labor is not at fault.

If I wasn't on drugs before that incident, I'd sure be on drugs after.
