Just to put this in context ...
Netherlands cranes collapse in Alphen aan den Rijn - BBC NewsAmateur video showed the cranes, on a pontoon on the River Rhine, trying to hoist a section of the Juliana Bridge and toppling over under the weight.
It is still not known how many people, if any, are trapped in the rubble, the town's vice-mayor said.
Images on Dutch media showed a row of crushed buildings.
Witness Dick van Smirren, who filmed the incident, told the NOS national broadcaster: "You see the cloud of dust rise - that is a terrible image and you think: 'Who is under there?' You can't believe what you see."
De Volkskrant newspaper said a Dutch team normally used for earthquakes and other disasters had been sent to the scene.
Spare a thought for those caught up in this and others currently sick with worry about loved ones.. -
Het is ok! Alles is cool.One man was pulled from the rubble but miraculously nobody suffered any injuries in the dramatic accident.
... but do spare a thought for the animals.A dog was found dead at the scene, however.
