My reply was in response to whether a CIM could lift a car vertically. Also, the second crane falling in is almost certainly a fake. Also, also.... Yes, counterbalancing would have kept the first crane from falling in. So would the outriggers featured on the second crane, and they're lighter than a counterbalance. If you can get away with it, outriggers are probably preferred since they're so much more effective per pound.
