  2. You're seeing the crane boom after it backlashed, backwards up over the cab, falling down behind. The barge in the water with all the lifting eyes on it: I think that was the test load. The crane is German, newly installed, and this was part of its commissioning. It's design-rated to 10,000,000 lbs. The hook failed under load, that's the yellow thing dangling by the cab.

  3. The hook attached to the yellow carriage that you see and broke just before the video started. The hook is gone in the video, the carriage it attached to is the yellow assembly that hits part of the cab.
