They need a crane with about 3 times the length of mast & start stacking them 100mtrs out off the barrier to do any good they have done this for years & no differ.

Blowing up the original scan of the slide, I don't see a human being on the block. Perhaps a remote release device.

I doubt if H&S regulations would allow anyone to stand on a block suspended from a crane.

They cannot get the blocks further out or use a larger crane because they cannot get the jacks of the crane out because of the width of the barrier
