Scary Damage on Tower Crane

When I passed by the Perak Stadium roundabout, something unusual caught my attention. The tower crane at Ariva Condominium site is "twisted" like a candy cane! I was wondering what kind of great force or mass could cause such damage to a tower crane. So far I can only relate to the weather condition yesterday afternoon, where the crane might be carrying some load while the strong wind was blowing. As at this point of time there is no report or relevant information available regarding this incident.
