As a crane operator myself, I seen this coming, a floating barge is not a stable platform, The project engineer is definitely negligent!

[@1alexwel]

All parties involved made big mistakes, there's actually a video with the report from the Dutch Safety board after the investigation, just search for 'Lifting accident Alphen aan de Rijn' if like to see it.

[@paulnolan1352]

Negligent, He must have been criminally insane.

[@chocolategravyandbiscuits8418]

That’ll buff out

[@feth7747]

Thinks the same, this is coming

[@MattII33]

*saw

[@someasiandude4797]

“Where do we put the cranes?” “On water” “Genius!”

[@christinakaur8766]

The barge platform thing was clearly listing a bit.

[@Rickster5176]

Just amazing. So avoidable.

[@mikeleo5990]

One of the most if not the dumbest assed lifts I’ve ever seen

[@borisblocksberg]

Like operating a crane on basicly pudding is a good idea in the first place lmao

[@shawncosmos5431]

Completely avoidable.. Nothing beats a well thought out lift plan …Nothing looked right from the beginning of this operation…. Lot’s of math should have been done long before this job even commenced..smh

[@BoffinGrusky]

The level of incompetency shown here is stunning. No doubt this was planned and executed by highly trained and well paid civil servants.

[@commandbrawler9348]

this kind of stuff happens way more often in america

[@daftdigital]

More like private company cutting corners to save money.

[@redblue40rc33]

farmers insurance....we've covered a thing or 2...CAUSE WE'VE SEEN A THING OR 2

[@theelectricunicyclist9069]

LOL

[@astephenwilson]

Where are the spotters? Why wasn't this monitored during operations from all sides???

[@blood852000]

They bo chap

[@fightington]

Lol spotters aint saving that shitshow

[@95frankie]

Spotters ain’t stopping this. Engineering failure

[@davidswanson5669]

The Netherlands?!?! I refuse to believe that they’d be so brazen as to perform this maneuver on a barge. This is third-world-level mistakes going on here.

[@hoedemakerbart]

Yep. People aren't as smart as they used to be 🤣

[@ChrisKay-dd3zy]

I'm not a crane operator or a structural engineer, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express, so I can boldly say there was some negligence.

[@johnvanpomeren9254]

😂

[@D0NCH33T0]

I'm not a construction worker but I wouldn't think it's a good idea to put a crane on a boat...

[@josemanon6295]

2 cranes IN a boat, lifting a thing heavier than themselves... what can be wrong?

[@danieldurnin959]

That’s too crazy!

[@conradogoodwin8077]

"The complexity of the lifting operation had been under-estimated." (from another video describing the investigation into the incident)

[@petertaylor6384]

Why no hydraulic outriggers. Looked like another day or 2 of prep and another 25,000 quid would have saved a lot of money

[@ducati916SPS]

Hello Boss, I've got a problem....😢

[@blood852000]

Who goin to pay?

[@alainboucher7069]

Lucky, they were!

[@anthonys7534]

State Farm

[@NesqRunner]

Good no one was dead

[@stevewallwork4297]

Operator error. 😢😢

[@LucieOrLofty]

The poor Lofty's :(

[@fredthompson1674]

A well thought out bad idea.

[@Will-w7e]

Tug boat should have never moved

[@1alexwel]

It was doomed to fail anyways. The Dutch Safety Board found a lot of things that weren't done properly and simulations confirmed that an accident was unavoidable.

[@Anonimusz-rg8pq]

Ha ez volt a terv, akkor szépen sikerült!😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@earthlingjohn]

🤣🤣👍

[@k.gulskogen90]

Hope someone got some prison time here.

[@dannysmith9009]

Iam glad i never got into Crane work....i still have a ""she'll be right "attitude...that obviously doesn't fly

[@dtecum]

Completely avoidable in whole and in part

[@ecasx]

WTF UP

[@charliematt4808]

So much for cutting corners/saving money with unstable platform.🤬💩.

[@MrlaiFamily]

They were 2 crane and they fell down the other crane fall down first then the other one crane

[@paulnolan1352]

Well spotted Einstein.

[@p.bateman7033]

SIMOPS! 50/50 chance of failure 😂

[@GhostHawk76]

Welcome to Dutch Engineering.

[@dalejordan4584]

Oops

An Ostersonntag. Voll durch dat Dach !
