Internet says it was not finished yet, and being constructed by russians as cheap as possible is probably the reason the PK-700 Grigory Prosyankin capsized. It allegedly should assist in construction and loading of vessels in Severodvinsk shipyard (where nuclear submarines are constructed) - the crane is one of very few in its size class; Construction was started in 2018 but slowed to a crawl since 2020 due to financial issues. It sank during loading operations, meaning they already used their half-finished crane for years; 2 people died, and more than 20 were injured.
What is the reason?

The front fell off
Fair enough
I don’t know the reason, but in case you didn’t know, I believe the commenter who responded to you is referencing a skit.
If you did know or I’m wrong, I apologize for wasting your time.
A skit? Is that unusual?
Oh yeah. On Lemmy? Chance in a million!
That was also a reference!
Thanks kind stranger. I know about it but many might not https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3m5qxZm_JqM
