Tower ladder failure or operator error? Any other angles of this photo?

Maybe it failed before hit the roof line? Sure looks like it was powered down or lost hydraulics with the bucket on the parapet.

Glad nobody wa hurt. I wonder when the truck was last inspected/certified, not that failure can never be truly predicted.

I hope they don't expect full price of trade-in value when their new truck comes in. Lol!
