    The news excerpt is poorly worded....

    "A man cutting limbs got attacked by a sworm of bees then noticed the crane overturn after the boom was over extended.

    The crane hit a power line. "

    LOL, was it the same man? did they mean swarm?

    During the cold war, we thought we won, little did we know the communists had a silent victory by taking over the media and to some extent the education system, thus journalism today!

      i aree with Chop, the writing and reporting left something to be desired.
      I could not figure out the sequence of events, nor of the relation ships between the things described, like, was the beehive in the tree being taken down. Was the man attacked by the bees in the crane cab or in the bucket/hook of the crane? How could he not notice the crane falling over (maybe the bees distracted him)?

      Anyway, a bad day indeed for the homeowners, crane operator, the bees, and our educational system and journalism profession.
      Did the tree survive or was it already dead?
