A crane toppled over at one of our job sites today, crushing a Silverado, part of a Sierra, sheared off a corner of the contractor office, and flattened half of a guard shed. Amazingly, nobody was injured even though workers were in both buildings.

The boom crane that fell was being used to erect two larger tower cranes (taken a couple hours before it tipped over).
