Crane gets a dunking

A 250 tonne Link Belt lattice boomed truck crane tipped over yesterday at a construction site next to Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach earlier today.

The boom and jib came to rest in the water, while both crane cabs were damaged, the driver escaped with minor cuts and bruises. No one else was hurt.

If the crane had fallen in the other direction it would have been a totally different story.
