Removing of the fallen crane in Antwerp

[@jasonbabila6006]

Why was the boom in the lowered position when it was no where near a ship loading and unloading, looks like the bridge of the ship is what hit the gantry crane.

[@bas6983]

As far as I know it was under maintenance.

[@evertvercauteren3110]

Crane was defective ;-)

[@soulsofpresentgracethompso5990]

Did the ship hit it?

[@spookz2388]

it did there was a storm witch caused the boat to drift towards the crane and hit it.

[@steli8unz318]

I hope the crane driver wasn’t on board

[@aqsdfg25]

Well thats one or more harbor pilot and ship master's licence gone, plus however many Mariner licences the Board Of Inquiry decided to revoke. Insurance will pay claims, then promptly cancel policy.

[@bas6983]

Did you even look into the surcumstances why it came down.

[@dkoz8321]

@@bas6983 Circumstances, shmircanstances. It gets investigated, then regardless, authorities then pull licenses regardless.

@@dkoz8321 maybe in your part of the world. Wherever that is. In nw-europe were still trying to stay out of the blame culture and shapegoating all possible individuals.
