Practical Engineering | Why Cranes Collapse @PracticalEngineeringChannel | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Cranes are the backbone of construction projects. So why do so many of them fall down?
Because they are so pervasive and they do such a dangerous job of lifting massive objects high into the air, occasionally cranes fail. In this video, I want to walk through some of the reasons these failures occur, using historical events as case studies.
