This was a management failure resulting in the loss of lives.You just don't risk lives on a windy day with that much weight to make a deadline.My thoughts are with the families & friends and co-workers of these men.There's really nothing worse than losing a loved one over some idiots negligence.
The crane was lifting a big box kite. 440 tons of steel with sheet metal panels attached. The wind + the load were to much for the crane. I heard that the boom could only stand 1% of the lift capacity in lateral (sideways) stress. It was too windy. Bottom line. And three families lost loved ones because of greed.
once again man tempts nature and like always nature wins.
