[narrator] With it's
foundations compromised, as the crane lifted five tons
of building material, the shorter steel rods sheared and the crane toppled
on to the apartment complex
next door. So there was no continuity
between the pile itself, and the foundation
of the crane

foundations compromised,
00:00:03.701 --> 00:00:07.134
as the crane lifted five tons
of building material,
00:00:07.201 --> 00:00:09.734
the shorter steel rods sheared
00:00:09.734 --> 00:00:13.934
and the crane toppled
on to the apartment complex
next door.

So there was no continuity
between the pile itself,

and the foundation
