Crane Crushes House

We (www.advantageelectricians.com) were wiring up a continuous motion pool/hot-tub in Shoreview MN the home owner was over seeing all the work himself had the hole dug rented the crane operator etc.. We were onsite waiting for the pool to be set so we could bond the frame and what not, when things took a wrong turn.... I was filming with my phone and I heard the crane operator scream and I took off running toward the front of the house as soon as he started to yell I knew something went wrong. It sounded like thunder when the thing hit the house knocked out the chimney crushed the garage and busted up the house good. The operator was shaking in his boots scared the hell out of him not to mention things like this do not happen they have a load chart that prevents things like that.. needless to say he was on the phone with the owner of the company right away. Crazy Friday....

Did you ever stop to think how holding the damn camera steady would have captured critical insurance investigation evidence pertaining to the equipment and people involved here at this accident scene?

Who'd the ignorant one now? I can play this all day long, what else you want to throw at me?

Even if it's my stuff getting crushed ... i'm not holding a phone camera still and watching it, i'm going to move out of the way in case anything decides to fly off and hit me.

Why was he running? I assume the crane operators never tell him this was going to happen?

not bad camera work but what was the point of shaking the mcamera at about 2:03. you shake it too fast it is hard to see why what you showing us as it is a bit blurry. also did the crane crew even tell you this was going to happen?
