First: If they just detached the bucket arm from the body because they needed the body for something else, the arm would be simply <b>laying</b> on the ground not <b>embedded</b> in the ground sticking up. Where the ground starts is not the end of the arm, there is one more arm segment. Secondly: Note sizable depression in the ground around said arm just big enough to hold said crane body. Judging from the landscape (wide flat featureless and tree-less valleys in-between tall mountains) and presence of snow I'd say this was in one of the the tundra regions of the northern hemisphere. A region where there are vast areas of bogs with indeterminate depth which have a tendency to swallow anything that might venture into them. Also there are other areas of said region where the soil is so loose and wet that it is only solid enough to build (or put heavy things on) when it is frozen so things have to be anchored in deep enough to be sufficiently below the top of the perma-frost (the layer of soil under the top surface that is deep enough to have a stable temperature such that it remains frozen year round.) This layer can start anywhere from a few inches to several feet below the surface and if there is a particularly long or warm summer the top of the permafrost layer can retreat even further into the ground. This would make anything sitting on it or anchored below the ground into it sink down into the newly thawed muck. So either someone drove the backhoe (or it slid) into a bog, got stuck, and sank (definite failure) and the bog is in the process of leeching back around the backhoe (which can take as little as a few minutes to a few hours), or the ground thawed to the point where it could not hold the backhoe's weight and sank into the mud (not as big a failure as the potential bog scenario, but still a failure for not moving the backhoe to more stable ground when it started to sink.)

If you must know that cranes are detachable in order to use it with a different device with it. The second failures are the rest of you for not knowing why the digger part was left behind, perhaps not to far from site, they needed the main rig. No one thinks in here I have noticed, just type in hopes that their comment would be of some kind of intelligence. Not only is the poster of this supposed fail a failure, but the rest of you as well.
