New overturns old
A ship to shore container crane has been pushed over by a new one arriving at Keelung Port – north east of Taipei in Taiwan.
The incident occurred on Monday as three new container cranes arriving at the dock for China Container Terminal Corp, aboard the Yuzhou Qi Hang barge carrier collided with an existing one on Pier 20 at the port, causing it to tip over backwards. Thankfully no one was injured or hurt in the incident.

And it just did another one, it ran aground during a storm and the crew abandoned ship., 2.4 miles northwest of cape yehliu, and one of the three gantries it was carrying collapsed.
Chief
That's one way to generate new crane orders!
Seriously.
Probably just by luck there were no serious injuries reported in either incident but it could have been so much different.
