Oddly the outriggers were fully extended on the other side
The crane, owned and operated by Birchcrest Tree & Landscaping was short rigged on the load side, due to it working right up against a fence, but oddly the outrigger beams on the other side were fully extended? Thankfully the boom missed the houses in the area and no one was injured in the incident.
The crane’s boom has already been cut into sections and removed, while the rest of the crane is due to be recovered later today.

Just another case of a American getting outsmarted by timber, Vertikal should publish they days they DONT turn a crane over, would save a lot of reporting.
