D4's D5

Here are a few pictures from my friend Kevin in South LA. Kevin is on the D5, helping push the crane up the ramp to the barge. From my understanding, the tug boat was still winched tight to the barge, and as the weight of the crane got on the barge, the tug end of the barge came up and caused the tug to come out of the water some, hindering the tugs ability to keep the barge firmly planted against the shore. Then the barge pushed away from the shore. Either way you can see what happens next. I have a 63MB video of the whole thing also, I'll try to post it on youtube later this evening. Enjoy! BTW, the crane boom fell across the barge, people standing everywhere, but no one got hurt.
