Ahmedabad, 25 February 2014
A 40-year-old crane handler man died and four people including a bride were injured after a hydraulic crane fell over at a wedding in India.
The crane was lowering a ‘crystal platform’ carrying the bride and her sister into the wedding venue in Shreya farm near Adalaj village on Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar highway.
According to local police, the 40ft-crane fell over after it was parked in uneven and muddy ground.
A video from the wedding shows the cone-shaped platform being lowered down as pyrotechnics go off.
As the platform gets closer to the ground, the crane suddenly topples over and the platform, carrying the bride and her sister, crashes to the ground.
‘The incident took place when the crane was about to drop it to the ground from the height of four feet.
Suddenly, the crane turned one side and both the occupants fell on the ground.
