It seems as if things could not get worse when it comes to lifting heavy
machinery. But when you see this video, then you’ll reconsider your
thoughts: In this case, a giant locomotive has been lifted from a cargo
ship in order to be placed on the pier. But in midst of the lifting it happened.

One of the two load-carrying ropes ripped and down came more than 150 tons of steel.

What a lucky coincidence that noone stood below the lifted locomotive…

However the locomotive is now a big pile of scrap worth some million dollars…
