Wonder if this is the same company and engineers that had the problem with the overpass? Sounds like typical banana republic construction practices.

I guess you need to put out the outriggers on both sides...

Ooof.

Looks like an outrigger found a sink hole or at least a less dense patch of ground under a driveway.

You sure that third photo is the same accident? Roofs look real different.

Look at the patches on his roof.

This is what happens when you let more than one “Florida man” play with big boy toys. What did you expect? /sarc

Everytime you see one of these operations, you are watching a dance between gravity and ‘critical angle’ (CA) and ‘center of gravity’(CG). If the crane is close to vertical and within tolerance for its load, there is no problem unless an outside force intervenes; high wind or support shift. Move the crane arm & load away from vertical and you move the CG and you start playing the dance music. The critical factors are the weight of the load and the angle of the crane. The higher the angle, the higher the weight capacity and vice-versa. The CA is where the arm & weight & extension exceed the base weight and put the CG outside tolerance.

When the crane operator feels that little shift, he/she needs new underware.
