This video doesn't show the initial failure, but does show how fubar it goes a few seconds in:

Aftermath:

Here's a write-up; https://vertikal.net/en/news/story/35316/5000-tonne-crane-collapses-during-test

TL;DR; Hook fell off. Shock load destroys the crane.

I think it qualifies you to ring the missus and ask her to bring you a clean pair of pants and trousers, and maybe socks also, depending on what you had for lunch.

And for your boss to replace the seat, once they've removed it from your arsecrack.

I bet they are reviewing the cab guarding also after that clusterfuck! If things were a little different, it may have knocked the cab clean off!

I'm not sure it would make much difference putting guarding on when dealing with those forces.

They will no doubt be looking for new work, unless it turns out to be an assembly issue. Or a design issue.

ouch, only minor injuries thankfully I'm told.

Looks like it was being roaded, how did it fall over so badly?

 

[Lancs Lad]

Looks under its own stream actually...;

Shocking pictures show lorry crash which shut M60 for hours

The drivers of two vehicles escaped with just minor injuries following the collision.

N/S front blow out perhaps ... would take some holding onto .... those city cranes'll motor on ... also says he hit a truck ?? 's only reason I could think that'd roll him on a relatively straight road
