That's nothing compared to the horror the functionally illiterate using a verb as a noun.

I wonder if the crane computer was circumvented. The boom did not fail from a side load, just a straight hoisting load.
With this age of crane, I would not expect a failure such as this unless somebody had bypassed the safety devices or more likely, did not enter the correct parameters when the set the crane up for the lift.
Thankfully no one was hurt. These types of stories, usually don't end well.
Hey I am not illiterate, my parents were married before I was born.That's nothing compared to the horror the functionally illiterate using a verb as a noun.
I do not know much about crane safety, but I thought that modern cranes have load moment calculators, and warning and such devices. I wonder what happened. I will try to find out and post.

Awesome story, I am glad that it failed at a test pad and not over my grandma's house.
The boom sections on that type of crane are usually supposed to deploy evenly. It looks like only the first three deployed. Could have been a contributing factor.
Ya, I guess that is why we had the test pad. Still get goose bumps when I think of that day. It would have been so easy for one of us to have been killed. One guy working in the plant did end up under a counterweight. Not good...... He was a good guy. Sad day. Things were a little looser in those days.
