Interesting that the truck tipped AFTER the boom failed - the cables must have pulled it over.

The center failed first, which overloaded the one on the right and flipped it up -> then the counterweight fell off the one on the right.
One boom (hollow steel structure) (in the middle I think) ripped in two.

Odd that they would - short of a casualty or injured worker recovery - be making such a large lift immediately after a fatal load failure just the day before. Or very telling that the same errors would repeat the next day, if the same operators and planners were still on site.

The boom of the far left broke in two, as did the near left boom. Far right hook is still attached = that is where the camera was focused in the beginning.

The obvious lesson is to properly assess any last minute changes.
