I still can't imagine what that crane operator was thinking once the boat started spinning???? Hope they were insured and can find another line of work or another use for that crane because I think they're reputation is shot!
That was 2 cranes, and 2 operators. The near one started down and the far one didn't. Maybe he lost a drum brake. Add P-poor rigging to that, and you have a disaster.
At Arrow tank, they do multi-lifts like that with huge loads every day. Believe me, the equipment goes through some terrific safety testing on a regular basis.
That really sucks! Boat looks like it might be $500K or better. Hope nobody was in it. Guess they might salvage it if it didn't just sink in that muddy water! What a screw-up!

That's the fourth or fifth video of that kind of disaster that I've seen in the last couple years. I'm only counting the bigger craft, evidently this happens way too often.

I don't have to ask, I already know I can't afford it...
I saw something on yatch transport like that a while back. The owners may have them transported like that to say the Mediterranean, then fly over there to board and vacation for a few weeks, then fly home and have the boat transported back, or to their next vacation spot. It is like $250,000 per trip depending on the size of the yatch...
