This crane fell over and was crushed at a refinery about 6 months before I went to work there. They took it apart with cutting torches and sold it for scrap.
For reference, those blue cross-braces on the mast? 6" schedule 80 steel pipe.
IIRC, one of it's sister cranes went over at miller park in Wisconsin.
