It was a good idea to put planks in front of the wheels, but so many weight is almost unstopable.

At least they have another crane nearby to pull that one out.

Ok what I do not under stand is on the very front of that crane is a set of stabilizers , could he not have lowered the and used them as brake or was it total hydraulic failure ?
And also they could have try'd to throw one of those large blocks up in to the wheel arch and jam the wheel ?
It's a good job no one was hurt could have been so much worse too.

Why could the driver not start the engine (if it was not on) and put the engine in reverse??!

I don't think you can lower the outriggers until the crane is stopped.

What if he had lowern those stabilizers?
I totally agree, they could have lowered the jack legs and braked the crane that way, certainly i'd have tried it. if i'd have been putting the wood under the wheels i certainly would NOT have kept hold of it! the crane is 35 tonnes, flat fingers? no thanks.

#9 and others.
The stabilizers can't be used when driving/moving. There are a couple of switches and electronics to prevent it.
And thing about the mechanic part. The breaks didn't work, we know that.
But most of the time when breaks from something like this are failing doing there work, there are more problems.
The breaking is done by hydraulic but the steering is too. So that can be the reason he is steering like a mad man. Maybe the hydraulic in total isn't working..
And putting it in reverse.. That is impossible when such a thing is moving. Not to think about the security to prevent it.
Anyway just my two cents.

Idiots... they should have jammed the wood between the tire and body of the crane at 0:27 ... It would have stopped it because there was nowhere to go for the tire... it's like trying to lift yourself off the ground...
