NOT FOR BONEHEADS. The fault lies entirely with the use of straps in these cases. The longer the exposure to stresses the more 'Strands' break and fail. Eventually the straps will fail through deteriation the longer the time they are subjected to these heavy weights. They usually fail as the load is moved or lifted as this is when the greatest stress is put upon the strands that make up the strap. Sunlight can also cause the straps to deteriate. I used to test all sorts of slings and most companies just do a deadweight test lifting a set weight and then measuring any stretching afterwards. Webbing straps were often tested to destruction and the weight that they failed at were checked against the design graph. If it failed within its designed criteria then it passed for use. Unfortunately, the speed of the lift and the number of times it's used would determine whether the sling lasts it's designated lifespan.
Listened to it several times, and right around 02:41 or 02:42 it sounds like a drum getting hit, as though a strand in a cable snapped, then it all lets loose after that.
I worked 40 years on gold mines in South Africa,we had a qualified rigger ropesman on every shaft and gold plant Every steel sling and material sling had a ring on it with a number A book log was kept in his office with every sling number in it, once a month he had to go check every sling number and sign it off Once in three months the engineer had to also sign it off Wonder if such a system is done in USA

Just like the 450ton crane dropped on the ship at Port of Brisbane few weeks ago. They blamed rigging failure but they slung around the outriggers, the sharp sides of the outriggers cut straight through the straps.
@gregj.gotham4402 Chain??? So you think chain is stronger than cable, even crimped chokers. You're crazy, ever hear the term "a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link? There is a reason that term exist, chains links are to inconsistent to even rate with a SWL.
Stepping through the frames, it looks like the strap around the outrigger on the left is what snapped first. Judging by appearance -- specifically color -- they look well-worn. Unless it's a dark sheathing, but it's hard to tell from the video.
the engine of one of the cranes labnoured hard 30 secs before and the dual lift wasn't pretty/synchronised well. rigging was prob good enough even when slung incorrectly. Shit adds up.
😂😂 people blaming the crane operators for leaving it up too long im a crane driver you cant go up down or anywhere until your banksman tells you so the banksman should also check equiptment ie lifting gear .
From watching so many accidents from cranes lifting loads it seems like the majority of them are usually from two or more cranes doing the job. When one fails the other one is useless and sometimes even pulls that crane over to make a bigger mess. It is sad to see as those who work hard to make things happen have to deal with the results.
Yep, something gave up. Normally in lifts such as this, assuming both cranes are identical, if you aren't keeping the load level, it is the end that is higher in the air that goes first. Not the case here. At level the load is evenly distributed, and if you take it to its full conclusion - the load hanging vertically - only one crane is taking any weight. The more off horizontal the load is, the more one crane is doing all the work. But... if this load, even though lifted horizontally, was infact heavier at one (like a spoon perhaps) the weight transfer to one side of the lift is far greater.
The crane on the left turned slight, the weight was more based on the left hand side because it turned slightly to the ship. The rigging also could had more error to count for, maybe 200tons freedom of error could had prevented this.
Saw it's own reflection on a skyscraper while being lifted and ended itself.Thats why all loads must have a tarpaulin cover when lifting to stop them seeing themselves.Smh.
It's a hard thing to lift and they tried to decrease the wire tension by having veritcle lines from the bar...but the problem is that they still had huge tension on the angled lines coming from the crane to the bar...They were probably trying to keep the angle within 60 degrees but when a wire is under that much tension it better be a perfect wire or it's gonna fail catastrophically....and what was that idiot doing standing under the load like that? I just came back from crane school in Japan and we've just done a full day of accidents and their causes...
That wasn't a crane accident...it was a rigging accident. Probably used worn out or inferior rigging!
Not enough Balloons attached to the Load. 😮
that's what I was thinking!
Yeah. I knew it would be the left hand side that fell. The balloons on the right side definitely helped! 😂

Thank you
Thanks for saving me the time
You can see cable snapping. Who ever approved under rated cables is responsible!
Rigger ropesman
Listened to it several times, and right around 02:41 or 02:42 it sounds like a drum getting hit, as though a strand in a cable snapped, then it all lets loose after that.
That was definitely a rigging issue, but why was the load held suspended for so long? May as well turn everything off and secure the area.
Best video of a blur I ever saw!

It is called the Tackle Register or Tackle Book.
That's a Rigging register used in all developed countries.

Cameraman had ONE job….
2:52 it starts
That Rigging was Friggin wrong....
I agree with you.
What do you think was the problem? Specifically
The use of small cable instead of large chain. The weak part of cable is in the crimped ends. Proper chain with bolt on Clevis ends would have held.

“Now watch as we load this priceless………………scrap iron……”
And this my friends is why you never walk under a working load.

He had one job
The camera man had one job to do!
Rigging engineer did not add enough helium balloons. Everyone makes mistakes.
😂😂 people blaming the crane operators for leaving it up too long im a crane driver you cant go up down or anywhere until your banksman tells you so the banksman should also check equiptment ie lifting gear .
What about the rigger ropesman checking everything
Don't understand why they lifted load too much high.
Does anyone know what happened to the employee who was underneath? I hope they're ok.
In the best part we can watch nothing...
Those chains from Harbor Freight never hold !
video could be shortened to about 1 minute
They are using straps instead pf chains.
You had one job. Why do so many people drop the camera when the action starts??
I think the instant something like this happens you get a fright
Looking at the "rigging" I can't say I'm really surprised. Was this the accident that killed a guy?
No, no injuries. www.osha.gov/pls/imis/accidentsearch.accident_detail?id=200676286
No.

When you say HERE . where is HERE? IN THE UNITED STATES?

and actually it was a forklift around 2006
He stands too close to film and is not prepared for anything and ruins the filming.
*Hello Mr. George, he no good operator!*
NOTHING suports the lateral load in long side, eventually fails.
Poor rigging. That sidnt happen in the US. WE DONT PLAY THAT!

The cameraman has Parkinsons
Yea don't watch... failure is in the last 10 seconds... an camera man somehow misses it allllll.. lol

As a layman, i knew those straps weren't going to take the weight. I mean, what were they doing being professionals? Unbelievable
I will never ever understand why someone with a camera violently shakes it when something interesting is happening.
Scared the crap out him maybe ? I knew it was coming and I flinched
Fighting experience then one freeze or drop camera 🤳📸
Not sure who let old boy stand so close to that lift but you could tell it was all bad from jump street just on seeing him that close
Stay calm and jeep the camera steady. How am I supposed to watch the thing fall and break? Doofus.
it's sad but it happened suddenly and it's reasonable to panic and not prioritize the video
They forgot to include the helium balloons on one side in their calculations.

Wrap your straps around sharp corners on the x frame, go ahead. See what happens.
Kevlars need softeners , always .
Camera guy must have had too much coffee. He is shaking like a nun in a cucumber patch!
The strap set up didn’t seem right
Crane operators
How long do you want to let it dangle in the air?
Job supervisor
Yes
Well thats destroyed
Camera person should seek treatment against Parkinsons
It looks like they kept the load in the air for too long until the cables snapped.
But barring that even if kept 2 hours in air
Goes about the rigger ropesman checking the quality and condition of what ever they used
That'll buff right out.
Looked like the spreader bar buckled
Nice job camera guy.
Get a camera stand……….

Low bidder crane operator. There goes his insurance.
It looked like Seaboard cargo being loaded by a pair of Seaboard cranes?
They were moving the lower half of a dock crane, the slings were cradled around the outriggers that had square edges that cut the slings.
