    Looked at it again, and I think it might be a cross, so to speak. The high stakes, headache rack, and what appears to be a boom on the back threw me off. I don't see the levelers that should be visible at this angle, for a center mount claw.

    Either way, its a crappy situation, and obviously, my prayers go out to the families of the lost.

    Having not read the full story it seems to me like the load wasn't secured or at least not loaded as well as it could have been.
