Tough one to recover from. I'm no rigger but it looks to me like the whatever that was (what WAS that thing, anyhow?) was loaded on the wrong side of the barge to start with so that the operators had to attempt that cross-over maneuver. Bad plan gone wrong. Now she won't have to clean the house today (I've heard that Dutch women are VERY clean).

The item that was lifted was the deck of a draw bridge.
Something snapped which caused the deck to start moving in an uncontrolled way which led to the accident.
Here's an English article and better pics about the mishap;
Two cranes restoring a bridge in the central Dutch town of Alphen aan den Rijn collapse on to buildings, with rescuers searching for victims.
