INDIANANGLER

This is an Accident that happened a few months ago at Mandva off Mumbai where usually all the Mumbai yachts are parked and serviced, wanted these pics since a long time but finally my friend who was the captain of the yacht gave them to me, well this was a brand new Italian Azimut which had just arrived and when the huge crane was lowering it on the water a simple pin that cost RS.800/- gave away and the yacht crashed with the crane boom over it, the yacht was destroyed and it took 3 cranes and 2 JCB's to bring the fallen crane up, fortunately no body was hurt as the men manning the cables just jumped off in the nick of time, the yacht owner got back 70% of the value from the insurance company, Azimut promptly shipped him another yacht and everyone lived happily ever after...

Crane drivers..........! Boom too far out...Boom angle too low,This is not the First time or the last.Most crane drivers in India where used to the fixed boom cranes but with the heavy lift telescoping boom cranes on the scene its like switching from a bullock cart to a Ferrari.
