The crane was apparently pulled over by its drill


The crane, owned by Ebsary Foundation of Miami was apparently rigged with around 40 metres of boom, and was using an auger type drill on an All Aboard Florida construction site for a new train station, and was around 10 metres from the tracks, when it went over.

The boom is a write off

Lofty,

While it is embarrassing when any crane goes over, usually due to operator error, there's no need to try and make it sound like only Americans tip cranes and/or are proud about it. Not sure how far you knowledge of cranes goes, but if you where to do a little research, you'd find these things happen all over the world. May even happen wherever you are from. So unless you have anything pertinent to say, go somewhere else with your discriminating remarks.

Not like an American operated crane to go over, you must be so proud
