Goodbye pension, hello rehab!

Was it even carrying anything? What caused the drunk?

*Russia?

Well, it looks like the crane starts to flex or oscillate right before the operator tries to swing the heavy end over to keep it from tipping. Couple that with the elevated center of mass and...well, you saw it. Not sure what caused it to start warping horizontally like that. Maybe a tension line snapped? Or the pulley got stuck and suddenly let go? Dunno. Regardless, that's not gonna buff out.

I don't imagine this being filmed & laughed at with someone in there. Maybe there was booze in the hydraulics

I haven't seen a crane technique fail this badly since Karate Kid II.

I didn't even see the tags; I just saw a rusty crane, watched it fall over, and knew it was Russia. What is it with that place?

Looks like it was being pulled over from off screen. I thing the engine sound isn't the crane, it's whatever is pulling it. That's why they were filming, and that's why no one was in the crane, hence the reaction of the people watching. If it was in normal use with someone in it they'd be a little more concerned, and probably not filming. The wobbling is the camera shaking.

Does make perfect sense really. I would think a working crane would be secured to the ground and the feet points would be the last part to give out.

post-socialistic capitalism at work.
