Something wrong?

One of our readers sent us a photo last week which seems to show a Harland & Wolff Goliath crane in Belfast struggling with the lift of a large module. The modules are apparently normally lifted horizontally.

We had heard that a hoist motor had failed, but enquiries to Harland & Wolff in Belfast resulted in a response that nothing had happened at all and that the module had been shipped out on time.

The good thing is that nothing appears to have been damaged and no one was hurt, it is a good photo though so we thought we would publish it anyway.
