>> ^KnivesOut: @10 seconds you can hear a faint high-pitched wine. It seems like the supporting crane on the right is starting to break down under the load. @21 seconds you can see the base of the right crane apparently explode (launching some debris into the air) and catch fire.
The right crane was the culprit, I'd wager.
I hope no one was injured.
Agreed. Here is my guess: One of the wires on the crane on the right broke under the load. The weight of the falling crane pulled the remaining wire off the spool on the crane on the right. The speed at which this happened caused the brake mechanism to snap (debris flying in the air at 00:57) And then the heat from the friction blew it to pieces.
