Most days up in the trees you feel confident that you know what you are doing, and are using approved safety equipment and techniques.  Some days however, you have those holy $&#! moments that scare that confidence right out of you.  My condolences to the family and friends.  It is a dangerous business.  Sad

From woodmills1 second thread, sounds like there was a crane operator involved, and the crane operator committed suicide.
I might be mistaken.
