Operator, had too much weight on crane causing it to tip over onto the house.

Here's a video of the aftermath, not much of a video but some.

Yeah, saw it yesterday. I think he had the crane overly extended for the amount of weight he was carrying. VERY fortunate nobody was hurt of killed, or that the crane caved in the roof of the house instead of "just" the garage. I'd say the crane operator was out looking for a new job the next day. :eek:
