WOW! Crane Drops Swimming Pool & Tips Over On Top Of House!

Bad operator right there. You never telescope your boom once a pick has begun, at around 1:50 in the vid you can see him extending his boom for more reach. That should have been tested on a dry run first, all operators know you have to do that first, to make sure you can safely hoist the load.
 
I have no information about the video just seen it on a site I visit normally, that jus totally sucks that garage/pool/house looked very expensive.
 
The KARE11 story reports that the crane company said computer error is to blame for the mishap. They said there was a lot of margin between the pools weight, and what the crane could handle. The crane company is taking care of the damages.
