At the end of the video you see a barge in the water alongside the ship. That barge is what was the 5500 t test weight. The video starts at some point after the near vertical jib recoils from the rope/hook break, and what you see is the jib going backwards over the top. The injuries (one still in hospital) were in the crane control cab, which is next to where the hook ends up.

Sounds like the injuries are minor. Hook failure seems to be the cause. Replacement crane needed PDQ.

It was the crane hook which broke during a proof load test.
