Another crane taken by a tree

A three axle All Terrain crane overturned onto a house in Franklin, Massachusetts - south west of Boston - on Wednesday. According to local reports an outrigger punched through into an underground void in the form of an old septic tank. The homeowners were apparently totally unaware of its existence.
