that's an old video. I have this thing for crane videos with the rigging I do in Maine. I like watching crane accidents I think it's this sick pron thing
I've seen every crane accident on youtube. The one with the skidder rolling down the 1 mile hill is the best.
Insufficient pick angle vs weight vs boom overextension for where the hydraulic stabilizers were. The weight of the boom will cause that alone.

That's the removal of the crane. When they stand it up you can see he was fully boom out (138' w/o jib) and was at less than a 45 degree angle. dum dum dum dum
Without a counterweight on there that is so wrong.
Now if they had that 175 Dmag there in the first place that woulda worked
biggest crane I ever hired was in northern Vt, had 22 tires. It climbed the hill to the site in about 2.5 hours. (~1.5 miles up) Low gear the whole way the only way it could get there it was so big. We lifted ~88,000 lbs of steel in one pick.
