Floating crane collapse in Oregon

YouTube Description:

No one injured. The crane was lifting a new support structure to replace the wooden structures that hold up high voltage power lines across the bay. While lifting the structures, one of them caught onto one of the power lines. Witnesses say the crane operator tried to free the structure from wire. Possibly a float under one of the structures may have failed. That has not be confirmed. The new structure leaned back, causing a huge strain on the crane boom. The boom buckled, and everything fell toward the south...boom and the structures falling into the bay.
