While lifting a crashed bus from the river, the crane setup on top of the bridge tips over and falls in. They say that the bus weighs 14 tonnes, but I wonder if this includes the weight of the water.

Video length: 1:30

Possible Conclusions

• The crane was too small for this lift.
• The load was being hoisted up too quickly not allowing for the water to drain.
• Maybe the windows were not smashed before lifting which prevented the last bit of water from draining at bottom end of the lift.
• Maybe the crane was not equipped with safety alarms, or the alarms were faulty, or they were manually overridden and therefore ignored.
