The large crane on the right (north) has been removed.
It seems that the remaining crane removal work has been suspended today due to strong winds.

There is still steel left at the base where the right crane was located, and although it is not visible, the foundation may still remain underneath.

This is the next crane to be dismantled. Due to strong winds today, the crane's hook has been hooked and secured in place. The procedure is to use the crane's own hook to remove and lower the top horizontal V-shaped arm that connects the crane's pillar (vertical pillar) to the tower. The photo taken at 9:22am on May 25th appears to show this process in progress. Next, the crane body slowly descends downward relative to the pillar. The pillar protruding from the crane operator section is detached at the joint at about 10m and lowered with the crane's own hook. This process is repeated until it gradually becomes lower.
