Watch: Dutch Crane Collapse Demolishes Houses, Injuring At Least 20
Footage posted on Twitter showed the cranes teetering and then collapsing onto houses on one side of the waterway. The houses, barely half the height of the cranes, appeared to have been crushed by the falling cranes and the bridge section.
Emergency services in Alphen aan den Rijn confirmed the accident on Twitter. “There are reports of several wounded,” the service tweeted. Dutch public broadcaster NOS reported that 20 people were injured, many of them seriously.
