It is a 100 foot or so boom lift.
Cant imagine the thing stretched all the way out and a tire blow all at once.
I could do the math and how much the boom would suddenly move but dont feel like it.
Something like ten feet I think just of the top of my head.
The men are working right next to giant plate glass windows and if it did blow it could put them though a thick plate glass window.
They would be killed or hurt and anyone below them would be killed or hurt.

At work I am always thinking about chain of events that could cause death or injury for others and myself.
I look out for everyone no matter who or where they came from.
I have always been this way and the reason others and myself are alive today.
