Here is a time lapse video of Building B's damaged crane being removed early Monday morning. Be patient with it. It is an interesting co-ordination of 3 different mobile cranes (one in the hole, two at grade) and logistically impressive. I added music to match but for some reason, it is not currently playing it.

There was nearly 3 days of prep for Del Terra and their crane subs to set up for the few hours I show here, which is the meat of the removal. At the very beginning, you see a crane bucket over the workers to the top of the crane (their headlights flash in the direction of the camera occasionally) to help with the dismantling.

Kudos to the Well construction team. They scrambled when the crane broke on Friday morning and managed to get it all done over a frigid weekend to minimize the disruption to construction progress on the site.

 
I wonder what kind of breakdown would require most the crane to be dismantled? I asume it was something structural, mechanical and electrical components could be replaced on site I assume.
