    antwerp: This is not at the ocean it is in the harbor of antwerp, pier 913, belgium(i worked there that day) they were repairing the pier blocks and he fell in the "schelde" it happened on 14/06/06 and the crane was from the company aertssen cranes (wich i also worked for). The crane driver was not drunk, just underestimated the weight. they found him about 500 meters further downstream and had to be reanimated i think. he's ok now and didn't got fired (too bad cause they fired me for hitting a traffic si

    dissapearing crane trick: The reason the rig ended up shiny side down is because as a load is lifted from the water the effective weight of it increases.The operator probably forgot this basic rule of crane operating 101 and simple physics and paid the price. Or maybe he was just realy drunk.

    ....idiout much?: 12/14/2006 - While a crews foreman was at break a couple workers caused one of their two 4 million dollar cranes to fall into the ocean.

    Crane was backwards: The counterweight deck on that machine was on the rear. They needed to turn around and put counters on the rear deck. They prolly underestimated the weight of the load they were lifting. I cant imagine how none of them noticed the alarms that were telling them they were overweight/underballesed(unles the alarm had been overridden like most of them are).

    I agree: with everyone on here, what inbred fool writes the captions for these video's? honestly, everyone below has made great points! Kinda is nice to see the population of break.com actually agreeing w/ eachother and telling eachother "good call," "Agreed" etc, and not the normal, "Fuck you in the ass because I'm small minded and want to make fun of everything you say." Pretty nice. wish it'd happen more often!

    It wouldn't work: because the crane can't lift anything even approaching its own weight due to leverage restrictions.

    Those things tip over like that when you let..: ..the boom create a moment arm greater than the mass of crane(given centers of gravity) . I.e.- the boom went to far horizontal (flattened out) while loaded up. As for the $$value of cranes, 4 mill is not unreasonable. (USD, AUD, EUD ??)
