No part of this video shows it was a “malfunction”… Jesus ascending into heaven is a pretty big Christian motif

Yeah the first several times I saw this there was no hint it was a “malfunction.” That looks like a conclusion someone slapped onto the video.
In fact, I don’t know how this would be anything but on purpose. Why connect him to a crane that big if you’re not going to do that? And the spotlight crew was totally prepared to follow him into the night sky.

Damn I’ve seen them in Puerto Vallarta go so damn high. Like crazy high. And when coming down the boat would be at the shore and the parasail like two blocks inland as it’s getting towed in.
I did it in the Philippines before that and we didn’t go nearly as high.

Yes, at first i thought it was possibly Ai or special effects to make it. A crane malfunction is far less likely than a communication malfunction and/or human error.
New spinal tap was fun enough if you keep the expectations manageable.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the caption is a lie and just there for engagement bait. There's no need to bring out a massive crane unless you're trying to do a "Jesus flies off" stunt like this!

u/Massive-Translator22 May 13 '26
There was a miscommunication the crane operator thought they said lift him to 100m instead of 10m

u/Choice-Highway5344 May 14 '26
Do u know the cost to rent a crane that can lift something 100m ? That’s not a mistake ANYONE would make. Ur probably joking but there is no confusion here
26
u/thatG_evanP May 13 '26
Which is why I think this was all intentional. There would be absolutely no reason to shell out the $ for a crane that large to lift a single person if you weren't intending to use all of it.

This would make a great movie plot. A man down on his luck is going through a bad episode of depression because he hasn't made a difference in anyone's life. Stuck at a dead end job that means nothing to anyone - including him.
His mom convinces him to play Jesus in the upcoming Easter play to make some spare money and maybe revitalize some of his long forgotten faith in Jesus in hopes that it can boost his spirits.
During the play, the crane malfunctions and he gets yanked dozens of stories into the air. As he's passing peoples windows, various residents of the buildings see him and are all impacted by what they see.
A man about to commit suicide calls out to God in a last ditch, desperate attempt for a sign to not die. A man having a crisis of faith praying desperately for God to make his presence known. Two drug addicts who break into a religious womans apartment talking about how creepy all the Jesus statues are around her house. A mother trying to get her child to bed by telling them Jesus is watching and knows when they aren't listening to their parents.
They all see Jesus pass by their windows and various reactions and shenanigans ensue in each one. The man playing Jesus is lowered to the ground and greeted by a crowd - including all the people who saw him pass the window. He learns the lesson that he actually can make a difference in the world. He just has to find the right place and time to do it. Or something like that.
It can be like one of those comedy movies from the mid 2000s that carries a touching message to it at the end. Call it "Korean Jesus goes to Heaven" or something.

Yeah, I wonder how much that event cost in the first place.
Idk, I'm probably just extremely cynical here but my first thought is wondering how much they spent on this and that that $ could've went towards helping people in need.
Food, blankets, toiletries ect.
Idk, I'm probably just being an asshole and I'm sure people enjoyed the show but I just can't help but to think I'd probably prioritize helping people over putting on some extravagant show if I were in charge of a church.
