Near Miss Side boom lifted of the ground during lowering operation
While lowering 48¿ gas export line, one side boom, lifted off the ground due to excessive load. The side boom operator realised that he was in danger of toppling; he panicked and he immediately released the pipe into the trench. This action caused the load to shift to the second side boom, which caused one side to lift off the ground as well. The second side boom operator did not panic and he slowly released the pipe into the trench.
