@asta315 That's awesome. Hopefully it doesn't fall apart. lol. The investigation on the falling crane is still ongoing.

just watching the video but not being able to see the crane and it being winter I would bet there is a good chance the crane was setup on frozen soft ground. It's nearly impossible to determine good hard ground in the winter and with a heavy lift like that when you find out something is wring it is way to late. I also noticed he picked the panel way up in the air to pin the braces. We stopped doing that a long time ago. Pull the braces back with a lull.

Being an Ironworker and using cranes on a daily basis , this gives me realization of how quick something can drastically go wrong. So glad that no one was hurt. It could have been a tragedy.
