Good that no one was hurt. Though it's very strange for a crane to collapse just like this.

Some articles are quoting workers as saying the scissor lift's weight was 1000 pounds. If you look up the real specs, it says 2 tons. That's 4 times more. Does anyone have a crane load chart for that Terex?

Welcome to Florida probably skimped on inspections. Like to see the log on the equipment. It's crazy, things just happen here!, no accountability, no oversight..thankful no one was hurt because of someone's negligence. Cranes just don't collapse for no reason!
