Looks to me like the crane driver was incompetent/reckless, but why did the developer build a house so close to a 150 yr old tree (or however old it was at the time)?
It looks to me like they needed the crane to stop the heavy bows of the tree falling on the house, but the chainsaw man chopped off more than the crane could handle.
The clean slice through the building just shows you how flimsy and insubstantial those houses are.
Luckily the crane driver is now working on the Commonwealth Games infrastructure so no danger around here 
It looks like an extension, so the owners could've built it without proper approval.
US houses are slightly built, but so what? That particular accident would still have made a right mess of a brick built house. Plus, there's a school of thought that says if you live in tornado alley, you want a flimsy house so that when it does collapse you don't get crushed by a hundred tons of bricks.
The buzzing may well be the lift carrying the driver to his cab.
You've got to laugh haven't you?
A lift this size is alway a contract lift
no its not, neither in UK or USA. Ive managed much bigger cranes / lifts myself.
First thing I can see is that the crane was in the wrong position making the out riggers ineffective
no its not
would lift through 360 degrees anyway
tell you what though, the neighbours garden furniture must be visable from space!

Why? As far as I can see it's on level hard standing with no visible underground or over ground services. It just tried to lift to a heavy load over that sort of radius.
Curse of the fly jib strikes again!!
I couldn't have subscribed to this thread...
F**king thing is still buzzing EVERY morning. It started 7am today (sunday)!
