Cranes can generally reach well past the limit that will tip themselves over. Part of the skill when operating a crane is understanding those limits.
A good example is that when a crane is lowering its payload the length of and therefore weight of the cable increases, which can exceed the weight that the crane can support.
Yes, but how does that work on a ship?
Essentially the same way, except now you don't even have solid ground to lever against.
A ship mounted crane is usually only going to be lifting things very close to its hull. They can't 'reach' very far.
That one in the video looks like me trying to reach the TV remote on the other couch without moving my butt, and promptly falling face first into the coffee table.
So "operator error" would cover that.
