AJ - You can always find a heap of pics on the 'net .. of the disastrous results of someones carelessness or stupidity .. but that dock crane in #2 pic must take the cake ..
Couldn't you just imagine the investigation, and paperwork, involved in THAT destruction. One would hope, it was the result of the forces of nature, and not a simple overload ..
Here's another one to add to to your collection .. on March 2, 2006, a Mexican-registered ship, ran into the largest container crane on the Alabama State Docks, knocking it right over ..
I'll wager the insurance company that had to pay out on this one, would be showing a sizeable dent in this years profit level ..

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
