Oops. As a salesperson I can imagine that call back to the office. "Uh... boss?"
I wonder if the crane operator, or the poor slob who hooked up the hoisting cables, etc, have stopped running yet, or sobered up?

I knew boats take a large depriation as soon as they hit the water.
Now I know why, it's obvious in this picture.

That is funny but I think the price may be a lot closer to 25 million as opposed to 2.5.
I 'm sure that one was recovered quickly and the cost of repairs wasn't pleasant, but I did see one the other day where the crane toppled onto the boat smahing it up real bad which probably cost a whole heck of a lot more.
Still, this one garners: and

I'll bet the dude on the back of the boat in the first picture had a load in his shorts after they pulled him from the water!
