Fresh water tank falls out

While filling my fresh water tank last week as it got full it fell out. Busted the vent fitting and the drain fitting. Tore loose the fill and service line. Tanks ok just need to put it back in and re plumb.
I cannot believe that a 50 gal tank was held in place by 2 x 1/8 inch angle. Each angle was 65 inches long and ran across the main frame.
They both bent enough to let the tank slide through.
