A woman who was inside a house when a crane crashed on its roof described the moment her husband saw the 80 tonne beast coming towards him.
Sylvia Liewerenz burst into tears and began shaking as she spoke about the horror encounter that, she said, could've cost her husband Marco's life.
"He was just 1m away from it," she told the Daily only hours after the crash.
"He saw (the crane) coming because it came towards him."
Sylvia and Marco Liewerenz will now be forced into temporary accommodation after an 80-tonne crane crashed through the roof of their Nirimba home.
