Tower crane overturn

A tower crane collapsed on a job site in Gemmingen, near Heilbronn in southern Germany on Monday flattening a parked truck.

The crane which appears to well used self-erector with counterweighted cruciform base, was lifting a concrete panel on a new low rise residential building when it overturned, coming down between the two buildings, causing minor damage to the roof of one structure, while the tower almost flattened the delivery truck.

Thankfully no was seriously hurt in the incident. The video below shows the scene shortly after the incident occurred.
