I’m impressed with the crane design that the tower itself didn’t collapse.

I imagine that the fire softened some cabling and it broke.

That’ll teach em to build the cranes out of wood! We had several wood stoves catch on fire, until we bought a metal one. /s of course

I’m a bit surprised that the insurance companies don’t require such cranes to have fire suppression systems installed in the engine compartment and operator’s cab.
