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.

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

[@christinakaur8766]

The barge platform thing was clearly listing a bit.

[@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

[@Rickster5176]

Just amazing. So avoidable.

[@mikeleo5990]

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

[@redblue40rc33]

LOL

[@astephenwilson]

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

[@blood852000]

They bo chap

[@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.

[@borisblocksberg]

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

[@ducati916SPS]

Hello Boss, I've got a problem....😢

[@blood852000]

Who goin to pay?

[@alainboucher7069]

Lucky, they were!

[@user-rp9ro6ve6h]

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.

[@NesqRunner]

Good no one was dead

[@charliematt4808]

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

[@FroggyFroggerAllesRoger]
