In this case it looks like the panel started to go away from the crane and once that momentum headed in the wrong direction there was no bringing it back.

They will if you turn the key. This looks like the crane was overloaded, pure and simple.
You see the rear come up when he's at the max radius before setting the panel down. Once he sets it down and the CG shifts just a bit further out he's already lost it. Cranes are designed to 85% overturning so he was already out of chart before he set the panel.
