The crane went over and pierced the building before fully collapsiing
The 40 metre bottom slewing luffing jib crane, was apparently caught by strong gusts of wind said to have exceed 18 metres a second – 40mph/65kph. We understand that the crane went over but rested on its jib for a while, before fully collapsing. A local resident caught the final fall on camera.
