Crane Accident SeaBoard Marine

It looks like they kept the load in the air for too long until the cables snapped.

He stands too close to film and is not prepared for anything and ruins the filming.

Don't understand why they lifted load too much high.

NOTHING suports the lateral load in long side, eventually fails.

You can see cable snapping. Who ever approved under rated cables is responsible!

The camera man had one job to do!

😂😂 people blaming the crane operators for leaving it up too long im a crane driver you cant go up down or anywhere until your banksman tells you so the banksman should also check equiptment ie lifting gear .

That wasn't a crane accident...it was a rigging accident. Probably used worn out or inferior rigging!

Poor rigging. That sidnt happen in the US. WE DONT PLAY THAT!

I will never ever understand why someone with a camera violently shakes it when something interesting is happening.

Hello Mr. George, he no good operator!

Those chains from Harbor Freight never hold !

Best video of a blur I ever saw!

Kevlars need softeners , always .

The cameraman has Parkinsons

NOT FOR BONEHEADS.
The fault lies entirely with the use of straps in these cases.
The longer the exposure to stresses the more 'Strands' break and fail. Eventually the straps will fail through deteriation the longer the time they are subjected to these heavy weights.
They usually fail as the load is moved or lifted as this is when the greatest stress is put upon the strands that make up the strap.
Sunlight can also cause the straps to deteriate.
I used to test all sorts of slings and most companies just do a deadweight test lifting a set weight and then measuring any stretching afterwards.
Webbing straps were often tested to destruction and the weight that they failed at were checked against the design graph.
If it failed within its designed criteria then it passed for use.
Unfortunately, the speed of the lift and the number of times it's used would determine whether the sling lasts it's designated lifespan.

million dollar fuk up

Cameraman had ONE job….

You had one job. Why do so many people drop the camera when the action starts??

Waste of time watching

The strap set up didn’t seem right

In the best part we can watch nothing...

I worked 40 years on gold mines in South Africa,we had a qualified rigger ropesman on every shaft and gold plant
Every steel sling and material sling had a ring on it with a number
A book log was kept in his office with every sling number in it,
once a month he had to go check every sling number and sign it off
Once in three months the engineer had to also sign it off
Wonder if such a system is done in USA

And this my friends is why you never walk under a working load.

Looked like the spreader bar buckled

It's a hard thing to lift and they tried to decrease the wire tension by having veritcle lines from the bar...but the problem is that they still had huge tension on the angled lines coming from the crane to the bar...They were probably trying to keep the angle within 60 degrees but when a wire is under that much tension it better be a perfect wire or it's gonna fail catastrophically....and what was that idiot doing standing under the load like that? I just came back from crane school in Japan and we've just done a full day of accidents and their causes...

Yeah, non union workers never have accidents....🤣🤣🤣

Yep, something gave up. Normally in lifts such as this, assuming both cranes are identical, if you aren't keeping the load level, it is the end that is higher in the air that goes first. Not the case here. At level the load is evenly distributed, and if you take it to its full conclusion - the load hanging vertically - only one crane is taking any weight. The more off horizontal the load is, the more one crane is doing all the work. But... if this load, even though lifted horizontally, was infact heavier at one (like a spoon perhaps) the weight transfer to one side of the lift is far greater.

Eff that

Well , its off the ship

Does anyone know what happened to the employee who was underneath? I hope they're ok.

Unions only help themselves not the workers!

Saw it's own reflection on a skyscraper while being lifted and ended itself.Thats why all loads must have a tarpaulin cover when lifting to stop them seeing themselves.Smh.

Camera guy must have had too much coffee. He is shaking like a nun in a cucumber patch!

Who's paying for this?

video could be shortened to about 1 minute

From watching so many accidents from cranes lifting loads it seems like the majority of them are usually from two or more cranes doing the job. When one fails the other one is useless and sometimes even pulls that crane over to make a bigger mess. It is sad to see as those who work hard to make things happen have to deal with the results.

Great camerawork. NOT

Party balloons on the ship??!?

Cameraman debile

IT'S DOWN.

Great speaking gibberish, next time put foreign video. Expected results right here. Not surprising

Somebody gonna be in big trouble 😂

Wrap your straps around sharp corners on the x frame, go ahead. See what happens.

Not sure who let old boy stand so close to that lift but you could tell it was all bad from jump street just on seeing him that close

As a layman, i knew those straps weren't going to take the weight. I mean, what were they doing being professionals? Unbelievable

Well, it was delivered to the dock as promised…

He had one job, hold the camera straight!

ITS OFF !!😂🤣😂😬😬😬😬😬😬
