Big crane falls in a hole

As some of u who watched the evening news may know, a big crane from the Seville construction site fell over trapping it's operator inside for over an hour. Here's a picture I tool through the fence.


There was a huge crowd of people milling around watching and waiting to see if the fire department and other first responders were going to manage to pull the operator out.



And of course the press.



In the end they manages to pull her out using a harness rigged up to all kinds of support ropes.
It got a bit intense at the end as the giant hole in the ground really echoed and amplified her howls of pain.



In the end everyone applauded when they finally or her on the stretcher.
I heard later on the news that she had two broken arms and a broken leg, and possibly more injuries, but she was conscious when she left for the hospital.
So, you never know what you're going to see on a trip to the dollar store.
