The crane should not have fallen no matter what "position" it was left in Loft.

Are we saying that it would have been OK if the guy was in it when it fell over, because he would not have "left" it that way?

There is just something lacking in the semantics used to describe the situation. The only way that thing would have fallen over, no matter what position it was in, is if it was not assembled correctly, we had some extraordinary weather event, or if the base support was not extended/shored properly. I am wondering what combo made this happen.

(BTW, you blame an operator for an accident, people will not worry as much about the OTHER cranes Bay Crane has in operation. You say that something was wrong with its assembly or support, every one would be called for inspection. It is a simple matter of Cash and Culpability).
