Garage
I had a crane tip over while trying to unload a 32 ton piece of machinery off my trailer at a Texas state corrections facility near Houston.
Inmates were operating it at the time. They got it up off my trailer and the plan was i drive out from under it.....almost made it. The back of the crane came off the ground and the machine hit the dirt and tipped back against my trailer. They ended up chaining the blade of a D9 cat crawler to the back of the crane and lowered the blade. Surprisingly no damage to my trailer.

I used to haul cranes (crane parts) to a lot of windmill sites.
