Default A huge crane fail! 60 ton boom snapped like a drinking straw!

I recall seeing a photo of a tree removal gone bad. They were
cutting down a tree behind the house, and had a truck mounted
crane reaching over the roof to the tree.

When you saw it, the tree was still in the back yard but the
trunk was facing the stars at say 130 degrees, with the boom
having cut the house in half.
