r slicker:
update on this accident

it now transpires that the crane was lifting a box with 30 tons inside that had not been released from the locks. the crane driver gave it some wellie and this is the result. a internal enquiery is now under way as to why the southampton dock unloading teams instucted a box to be lifted that had not been unsecured ■■?

this info has come from deep within soton docks as did the photos :laughing: :wink: :wink:

So there’s actually nothing wrong with the cranes at all then and no reason for them to be shut down. :unamused:

Yes but they shut them all down before and clearly there was no need.
