    He has his outrigger set, but the ground gave way, then the truck rolled over.

    The dangers of having to set your outriggers close to an open trench or pit is all too real. I've almost had my backhoe go into a pit that I was digging the same way that truck crane fell. Fortunately I was able to slam the boom down in time to stop any further progress.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done

    A larger outrigger pad might have prevented that. Looks like they were using a 2x4.
