Abstract

Anthropogenic catastrophes, as a rule, are caused directly by severe violations of operating rules set for technical systems and devices. One accident is considered in the article, where the rotating section of a tower crane fell down. A conjecture based on calculations is proposed as to what could have possibly caused the fracture of a bolted joint between the slewing unit and mast shell.
