The overturned crane
The crane, a 50 tonne four axle model, was lifting the boat over the rear and clearly went well beyond the radius at which it could manage the weight. It is quite clear that the crane was way too light for the job. The operator managed to jump clear and was said to be unharmed. The whole affair was caught on video.
