In the report is a classic and I quote slightly out of context but it made me smile " A passerby, who did not wish to be named, said: “I didn’t see anything"

They use two of them at a time to get the new struts into position to be lowered down for welding into place. My guess (as they are being a bit vague about what happened) is that they moved them forward to get the strut into position to be lowered down and (with the drivers out luckily) some extra weight as they were about to move it caused everything to overbalance and strut + forklifts to fall into the sea.

As Oscar Wilde would have said..."To lose one forklift is unfortunate but to lose two can be considered as careless."
