Found out harbor cranes can tilt 10 degrees in a storm and still keep running

Read a spec sheet from a port in Rotterdam that said their ship-to-shore cranes are designed to handle 75 mph winds with a 10 degree lean before they even shut down, and I never realized how much play those towers actually have.

Whoa, that's wild, I saw a video of one swaying in a storm and it looked terrifying but kinda cool too.
