Crane crash at Harland & Wolff in Belfast

This video shows the nail-biting moment when a 100-ft high crane crashed to the ground in a Belfast shipyard.

Workers at Harland & Wolff in Belfast looked on in horror as the crane fell, in a potentially lethal accident.

No-one was injured. But one person recorded the moment when the 300-ft high Sampson crane moves down the building dock, as sirens blare.



Video contains NSFW language.

The giant crane, which can lift up to 800 tonnes, appears to bang into the small crane, smashing it to the ground.

A spokesman for Harland & Wolff confirmed that they believed the film was genuine.

"It relates to an incident which occurred at the shipyard on Wednesday 4 April," he said.
