This is a 70 ton rotor dropping, check out the geezer walking along the split line seconds before it falls.
Many say that it was a wire rope failure. Some say operator error, or even the crane manufacturer. The more I look at this though the less I think it was a wire rope failure. It looks more like a load brake failure to me. If it was a wire rope I think it would have dropped quicker than it did, and you would have seen the frayed ends on top of the rotor when it fell to the ground. This crane was hoisting and moving a 70 ton gas turbine rotor that was worth 8.5 million dollars. The failure almost killed two workers. They were so close to the drop that it must have been pretty traumatic for them. This is a great video for training purposes to show why you should not be standing under a load during operation.

This accident happened in Norway, due to the fact that the driver became unwell during driving the crane through this town. Lucky for him the houses were made of timber and not of concrete. Unfortunately these accidents happen. Hope no one got seriously injured. Continue reading “Crane driver became unwell and drove into building” »
For as terrifying as the footage is, there were no reported casualties; looks like everyone knew how to swim. Still, that’s a lot of cash going down the drain, and boy does it ever look like $40 million worth of pure, unadulterated terror.

Unfortunately the story is in Spanish, but what I gather is that the crane tipped, while lifting a tree or parts of a tree. As can be seen, it had rained quite a bit and I would not be surprised if wind played a role in the tipping as well. Probably under estimated the weight of the rainwater on the tree leaves. For jobs, where you are not sure about the correct weight of the load, always make sure you have sufficient marging of safety.

It looks like they were trying to dismantle the horizontal boom of the tower crane, but under estimated the weight, which made the cranes tip over. Had they prepared a lift plan? The 6 P’s again?? Proper Planning Prevents Poor Piss Performance!!!
