WTF were they thinking? Cutting the brace for the A-frame legs of a
fully loaded crane system?

I'll bet that carbon arc wielder had a -large- load in his pants after
the thing broke loose. Morons. I doubt there was any salvage after
that -except- steel. Everything else was bent, tweaked, or cracked.
