The crane operator should have stayed home today.
The monstrous crane balances precariously on top of the home..
It was a dream home expected to fetch £1 million. But disaster struck as a crane was helping with finishing touches yesterday. The 40m (131ft) machine teetered and fell on the building at Broadstairs, Kent.
The roof of the building was severely damaged as was one of the external walls. Neighbors compared the noise of the crash to a bomb going off.
Thomas Hindmarsh, 70, a retired RAF serviceman who lives in the same road as the house, said the walls of his home shook when the crane fell.
“It was an unbelievable noise, like an explosion,” he said. “My house was given a right old shake. They are building luxury houses on the site. It’s lucky no one was hurt. I can’t wait to see the size of crane they get to shift this one.”
