Very Big Crane Failure
Published by Rick on Monday, January 19, 2009.As a 400 ton roof section was being lifted into place by a 267 feet high crane at the Miller Park Stadium in Milwaukee in July 1999 the collapse of the crane was caught on a video camera. Three construction workers were killed.
The shock caused by the crane's collapse was severe enough to be measured on the nearby seismograph at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The two loud reports about halfway through the video are the sound of bolts snapping as the crane is overloaded.
