Tower crane overturn
A tower crane overturned in the German town of Werneck, to the south east of Frankfurt on Wednesday.
The crane with a counterweighted base, was apparently lifting construction mats when something went wrong. The operator, 67, was unharmed.
An investigation was launched, but all the police would say was that the initial findings suggested the cause was either a technical defect or crane operator error!
The crane had been subject to a recent TÜV inspection which confirmed that the crane was in good working order.
