Crane falls on house in hot tub mishap

A crane crashed into a house in Shoreview, Minnesota after it tipped while lifting a large hot tub into the back yard.



Fortunately no one was hurt.

The action doesn't really start until 1:45, at which point the camera starts filming the ground.

YouTube link. There's a short video showing the aftermath here.

The Ramsey County Sheriff's Department says they were told a computer malfunction caused the crane to topple.

With additional news video.
