A construction crane fell onto a 9-story apartment block, home to 250 residents, in the Russian town of Kirov, crushing the balconies on one side of the building from top to bottom, like something out of a Hollywood blockbuster.<\/p>\n

The incident happened during heavy gusts of wind as construction
\nnear the building was underway. \u201cWhen the wind blew, I saw the
\ncrane running on rails about 100 meters in the direction of the
\nhouse. As soon as it bumped into the stop, it fell down onto the
\n9-story house,\u201d<\/i> a witness said.<\/p>\n

\"Kirov,Seven cars parked in front of the
\napartment building were crushed under the boom heap of the
\ncollapsed crane. No one was injured in the incident.<\/p>\n

The cause of the collapse has yet to be identified, though it is
\nbelieved that the crane was likely improperly secured, the local
\nEmergency Ministry told Interfax news agency. An investigation into
\nthe incident has been launched.<\/p>\n

An Internet user who uploaded a video showing the aftermath of the
\nincident noted that the neighboring cranes continued work even
\nafter the incident happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cLooked like the collapse didn\u2019t
\nscare them,\u201d<\/i> the witness said.<\/p>\n

Ambulances and police reportedly arrived at the site five minutes
\nafter the crane collapsed.<\/p>\n
