A second crane toppled onto a home in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on Thursday morning while firefighters attempted to remove a first fallen crane. The incident occurred around 9:15 AM ET when a crane attached to a truck fell onto the roof of a house that was sustaining significant structural damage. Firefighters brought another truck-mounted crane to lift out the initial fallen crane but its beam collapsed under weight, causing further damage to the property. No injuries were reported; however, Dina DeMayo, owner of one affected home, expressed her frustration over the incident and its impact on recent renovations. The homeowner had recently moved into the neighborhood and was in the process of remodeling their house when this unfortunate event occurred.
