  4. Okay but why the fuck were they lifting a container above the house in the first place?

  5. Hopefully it’s was safe enough to roam around and take some video footage for Reddit’s enjoyment.

  7. God all I could think was ‘I hope they didn’t have a cat, she’d have been so terrified, and scarpered for good’

  9. . That little lass was sooo lucky . Gross incompetence by the lorry/crane operator. HSE report should make interesting reading m’lud.

  10. I just broke a plate in the kitchen, don’t feel so bad about it now…

    Jokes aside, lucky you all avoided it, good to see.

  12. The upstairs is seriously mashed. Could this potentially require demolition? 

  14. Amazing how differently people communicate in a crisis. The woman calls her kid in calmly and asks her to move quickly. Job done. The man then shouts whoa whoa whoa to fucking no one and the confused kid nearly stops right where the container ends up.

  16. If I were her, I’d sue this company for everything they got. I’d also learn self awareness her kid did a better job of noticing the impending danger

  18. Fucking hell! After seeing the original this is crazy. Fuck knows why I’ve got goosebumps

  20. Why would you claim on your own home insurance increasing the premium when the liability is with the truck driver? I’d be claiming on their public liability. At most use temporary accommodation cover if you have nowhere else to go and get in touch with their insurer to sort temp accommodation. Regardless I’m glad that no one was seriously injured a few seconds difference and it could have been fatal!

  21. That’s awful. Poor family. Feel just terrible for them. Just glad that little girl was ok. Hope they get it all on the mend soon. ❤️

  23. Quick get every broken or knackered bit of tech you can find into the front bedroom. Don’t ask.

    Me probably

  24. Did the truck get dropped from a helicopter as well

  25. Damn, it landed square on that priceless monet that was hanging on that wall and has now been obliterated beyond recognition. Big shame.

  26. Was it because they put that wallpaper up, if so fair enough

  27. Lifting a big load, over a live carriageway, fully extended, with kids swanning around right in the danger zone. HSE are going to skin the operator with penknives.

  28. This is going to appear as a way of killing someone in the next hitman game

  29. I think they were there to do some building work too… oh well all free now!

  30. I’d be getting some shoes on that toddler that’s for sure with all the glass and shrapnel all over the floor.

  32. The house: “I’m still standin’ (Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)”

    Seriously though thankfully everyone is okay. This happened about 10 minutes up the road from a family member.

  33. Jesus if that happened in a rental property over here, the landlord would stick another €3000 onto the rent for the extra room 🤣

  35. Why are the dopey sods still in the house? Get everyone the fuck out.

  38. And I’m sweating my ass when I do some mild mistake at work , this trucker is mentally focked

  40. I live round the corner from this in Atherton near Leigh, ive got the ring doorbell footage of it happening. Truck didn’t have his road side support legs out far enough and he lifted the container high to avoid damaging trees, and over it went

  44. What fixings are they using to hold that bedroom tv up 😂
