Ed, we have a point of agreement, you and I.
I'd sooner have Osama after me than get under
a suspended load, unless there's a primo rigger
preparing the load and a top notch crane 
operator lifting it.

I always have safety jacks and/or a timber crib
protecting me, and recommend the same to others.
The crib need not contact the bottom, however.

By the way, why haven't we killed Osama?  Would
it ruin Haliburton's opportunity for profit?
