And they said it couldn't lift it at that angle.

I've seen this picture before and it always amazes me. That must have been one heck of a load to turn that beast over. That's not your everyday run of the mill crane that drives up and down the highways.

I agree, it was definetly the weight, the boom isn't on much of an angle. Only pics I have ever seen similar were in an OSHA class and the jib pin had snapped and the whole thing went down as the load bounced into the water.

The hole in the roof looked too real for photoshop and the lack of shadowlines made me look closely. I still wonder what the guy was lifting.
