How to break your crane

So, this crane operator breaks the boom on his crane. How you ask? Well his load sensor started to peak at 60 tons when he was making the lift, the problem though is the crane with this set of booms is only rated for 50 tons. So the boom bends and then snaps back...

how does the boom break,,,, it doesnt,,,, and NO way does that silo top weigh 60 ton having worked in heavy hauling and lifting all my working life i can defo say YOUR FULL OF SHIT

@mrhh2010 The top piece was stuck, generating a load over 60 tons. When it broke free, that caused the boom to snap back. No, it doesn't weight 60tons normally. But the load he put on the crane was over 60 tons trying to break it free.

@bigredtruckfromal how do you know it generated a load of over 60 tons, ALL SPECULATION. Bottom line is driver fucked up an as always yanks dont know what the fuck there doin

@mrhh2010 So... I gotta ask... What the hell does being an American have anything to do with what happened here with this crane? I mean, do I need to tag you with some Stupid British videos or something. Nothing is worse than the arrogance of someone thinking that because of where something happens, thats the issue. This could have happened anywhere. For someone trying to be taken seriously, you sound stupid by making remarks like that!

Something gonna happen here?

A swinging load is always bad when operating a crane. Especially if you are near the rating for the crane already, but swinging stuff is a danger for everyone around.
