    Multiple cranes collapse - video and photos

    Multiple cranes collapse.

    0:57 video (contains profanity if you're not Australian):



    The official report cited operator error, and rumor has it the operator was inexperienced and pulled the wrong lever and allowed the winch to go into free-fall. He tried to catch it on the drum brake but that overheated, exploded and caught fire as you can see.
    Images of the aftermath:
