Residents whose homes were damaged by the collapsed crane in eastOne woman, who did not want to give her name, trembled as she described feeling ‘traumatised’ after the crane fell in Bow on Wednesday afternoon, killing one person. She said the house next door to hers bore the full impact of the crash, which sounded ‘like an earthquake’.
‘She was screaming. I was screaming back. I then realised my brother was downstairs and I need to grab whatever I can and just go. I am not sure how I managed to run downstairs because there was stuff everywhere. All the smoke alarms were going off. Pointing to the crane, she said: ‘Why is that up there, fully loaded and just waiting to hurt somebody?
He said: ‘It is just unbelievable. My uncle said he was just going out to the garden and saw the crane. He looked up and saw the crane coming towards him.‘Obviously, at first you are in a bit of a shock. Then he realised what was happening but before he could go in and warn everyone what was going on – the crane had already hit the house.
A woman who lives a few streets away said she saw two men rescuing an elderly resident from a top-floor window using a pair of ladders.
