Southampton Container Crane Crash

[Tim]

Heard about this from the pilot on the way out from Southampton yesterday, one of the container cranes crashed down onto a ship at the container terminal at Southampton on Tuesday 5th of Feb. The security camera got the action and it was on youtube before you could say "crane crash"

I did a post on my blog

Anybody else know anything about it?

This piece of video is truly amazing. this happened on 18.1.08 and various discussion took place in this forum under the heading "Crane Accident at Southampton" it lasted up until 2.2.08. the vessel in question was KYOTO EXPRESS.
