3rd Hull loss?

Recently spoke to a Kalitta crew and was told of a third hull loss while in maintenance. Something about a crane holding the empennage and when maintenance personnel could not remove the last bolt (as it was binding) decided to cut the bolt which caused the main body to separate and the crane to topple over onto the aircraft causing extensive damage to the aircraft, beyond economic repair.
Again, this was told to me by a Kalitta crew.
Regards,
