Yeah like somebody forgot that water is way less stable than solid ground...and in such a dense population spot to boot.
Not primary cause but might have saved the situation from disaster mode. Re "caught by the load"...could be... but back to my contention this operation required near perfection of coordination between operators to work...which would be in the low probability range of actually happening and therefore should not have been attempted without many precautions that were not taken.
In another life I once turned over a Brown and Sharpe no. 2 vertical mill when the shop crane front wheel suddenly broke. The crane was on my homemade steel channel outside bringing the mill inside the basement so the mill fell over in soft dirt and had no damage as I recall. The shock when the wheel broke also bent the near fully extended hydraulic ram like a bananna. Being of limited means back then I straightened that ram on a press and keep using it for years later with no issues. Upgraded the wheels to something better. No memory of how I got the mill upright again...outside in the dirt...would have been especially tricky with nothing but a shop crane...and maybe a come-a-long or two.
