Amazing the guy with the front end loader didn't lose his leg. Was he really trying to hold down that piece of wood with his foot? What poor load distribution. Both rigs were to far to the right and had their booms hanging out as well. Real brain trust working here.
Looks like they swung the crane boom to the right to shift weight off the corner of the barge that was grounded, and extended the telehandler boom to shift weight to the offshore end. Someone didn't foresee how things would go once she was afloat...
some people should not be allowed nice things..... there is a reason the barge is grounded on the right rear corner.. but it wasn't clear to the local idiots
I'm amazed at the company's management that would put people in charge of millions of dollars worth of equipment who don't know they should stow the boom on the Manitou ,suck in the boom on the front crane and have the machine running with an operator ready to swing his book as counter ballast ,just amazing .
You could see the list before it was pushed off the rocks. Surely someone with any knowledge would have said, this is on the rocks this side, maybee we should reposition or ballast the opposite side?
Good that no one got hurt (as far as I could), but that was just stupid... From the start you could see that it wasn't properly balanced, there goes good money...
Corrcct, the C of G was far too high, the machine boom should have been let down and the fixed crane on the barge was swung out to the starboard side which was definatly not helping either!
why the heck would they have the boom in the air that makes it top heavy one of our workers dropped one of ours from our semi because he left the boom up
Good place for it. Manitou is f'ing garbage. Everything is crammed into half the space it should be, batteries are almost impossible to get at unless you have it swung sideways (good luck boosting it when it's cold if it doesn't have jumper studs), heater won't keep the cab warm/windows clear when it's colder than -5C and there isn't a hope in hell getting it to start at 0C unless you install a block heater (No intake air heater). The whole machine is just poor engineering and design.
"High winds, severe swell, and a freak wave on top of an iceberg tsunami added up to an unforeseeable irrecoverable freakish situation." Yup, so the report about the accident goes ;)
Hope the moron who hung the boom out to the side [without compensating in any way] was pleased with himself. Could see it was going over before they un-beached it.
Hi bom4ever, did you film this video by yourself of do you know who filmed it? Would it be possible to get in touch with you to discuss a permission to use this video in a production? Greetings
the reason it flipped is that the crane on the barge was all the way to the right when it should have been centered over the barge
How could they NOT see this happen?
I'm just amazed at how clear that water is.
was
hit in youtube ''Paxos island''' Greece....beach with balls....
Because of cold. 100m visibility

Yep, that hand clapping with the "yay!" says it all 👍👍

I love the lady that celebrates at 2:24 :)
"Yaaaayy!" clap-clap-clap-clap-clap
lol!

Soo lets see the loads not centered (and on the same side as the barge boom ) and the barge boom is hanging out on the wrong side,wow true genius.

Next time ,haul only one machine at a time !
And don't forget to low and retract the boom too !!
Well at least the water is clear so they can fin their equipment easily lol.
Shouldn't of gone far.
Alguien sabe de cuanto era la barcaza y cuanto pesaba la grua?????? please
That water is beautifull!!!!!!
Wow, the water is really clean there, except for a turned over and half submerged fork truck thingy.....
Nothing can resist to this beautiful water....
Well now I know where my next holiday is!
Why is the yellow crane pointing starboard to begin with?
Looks like it didn’t help
Did anyone else smile when it slowly tipped?
What was wrong with the slipway?
What is this town called?
Have to say - barge is designed for a 2 tonne car max - not a 10 tonne crane and 1 tonne of fuel (let alone out of balance).
almost like their trying to capsize, strategically placed crane and raised boom for max effect
Good that no one got hurt (as far as I could), but that was just stupid... From the start you could see that it wasn't properly balanced, there goes good money...
What a radical way to wash a Manitou...
Dude that Crane went down faster than the Titanic did
That water was so clear I saw a fish swim by
How very tragic.
What size fish were you going to catch with that thing?
just needed a banjo playing on shore.awesome effot
Some very inexperienced people failed to understand simple weight/balance equations. Bring out the engineers!
I can see about 10 things that are stupid...where do I start?
Sucks for he guy that jumped off in the freezing water, and the owner of the machine.
I was thinking to myself dam thats clean water, not anymore .
Damn that water is clear
WATER SO CLEAN
That's one expensive movement to another island!
The dude in the middle was like fuck this I'm out
0:55 that clown by the forks is REALY in harms way!
1:52 why is the barge boom hanging over the side and the Manitou boom still up?
that is some clear water
And the word TWINKY MOBILE comes to mind
That clear water makes me thirsty!
Perfect example of why you don't cut corners.
Corrcct, the C of G was far too high, the machine boom should have been let down and the fixed crane on the barge was swung out to the starboard side which was definatly not helping either!
are there arabic voice in this video???
Well, its definitely the most beautiful place I've ever seen an accident.
What were they even trying to do? What was the digger with the plank of wood doing?
water looks gr8!
2:23 oh a manitou just got sunk..... YAAAAAAAAAAAY
That shit looks cold..
water looks nice
Pacen el dato, en donde estudiaron.
it sucks because the manitou felt on the wrong side in the water...the engine is located at the right side...that means underwater...mrt2540?
Probably the last telehandler they are moving?
Yes, really. It looks so fresh.
nicely done
That WAS a £200,000 telehandler......
The guy on the cell phone was calling because the delivery is now behind schedule.
They have the boom half raised no wonder it flipped.
Is that water photo shopped :O
Where is this place?
Kollussuaq north westgreenland
That scene was totally preventable !!
What a crying shame !!
The crane booms were too high- that's what caused the roll over. Somebody did not know what they were doing!
why the heck would they have the boom in the air that makes it top heavy one of our workers dropped one of ours from our semi because he left the boom up
uh oh spaghettios
What caused the rollover was a 15t machine not sitting center on the barge the weight would have rolled it anyway.
great job!!!
who tugs that much with that little of a tug... Cmon People.
They where close enough to drop the ramps and just drive it off instead off writing the whole brand new machine off :(
Oh dear !!
Congratulations from Poland.
Sometimes accidents happens due to carelessness. So not in this case.
It is more a kind of miscalculation. Pity.
Good place for it. Manitou is f'ing garbage. Everything is crammed into half the space it should be, batteries are almost impossible to get at unless you have it swung sideways (good luck boosting it when it's cold if it doesn't have jumper studs), heater won't keep the cab warm/windows clear when it's colder than -5C and there isn't a hope in hell getting it to start at 0C unless you install a block heater (No intake air heater).

Plus - really wet and salty inside.
Its fresh water.
No it isn't. Don't be so insidious, Insidious - I see through you just like the salt water in that Greenlandic fiord there.
Im not being insidious. Stop blowing my mind, blohmymind.
Check egain stability barge, and pleace your look boom crane not down. ...
I don't think warranty is gonna cover that...
"High winds, severe swell, and a freak wave on top of an iceberg tsunami added up to an unforeseeable irrecoverable freakish situation."
Yup, so the report about the accident goes ;)
B2, B3, B4 and sunk.
Was probably a little too heavy for the barge.
And who the Manitou in the happy hunting ground has moved?
A VOLVO. ^ ^
Words are not enought to say something about these guys... Hope I never work with them.
shit happens bro, welcome to the real world, if your scared you wont get very far in life
lol water looks cold :)
These idiots made me grin like the Cheshire cat 😊 THIS is why I UA-cam... Hehe
piękna czysta woda
Hope the moron who hung the boom out to the side [without compensating in any way] was pleased with himself.

It seemed like a genius idea at the time.
Top heavy Muppet show
bombastic..
Ha ha ha, DET SKER SÅ BARE Æ, DET DER...
Always point the boom in the direction you want to go :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P
Hvorfor "Thank you" Onkel Bat?
I thought it was going to fall back down and crush the guy who jumped in
Well done ... Just well done ...
@baiuter se tu sapessi quante volte succede che i manitou finiscono nell'acqua!!!
Like a good neighbor state farm is there
I use to build those!!
Какая вода чистая!
Hi bom4ever, did you film this video by yourself of do you know who filmed it? Would it be possible to get in touch with you to discuss a permission to use this video in a production? Greetings
That too!!!!
Smooth move.
Stupid is what stupid does…..
