Construction workers clung to a malfunctioning crane Friday as its arm collapsed onto the pool deck of a neighboring luxury high-rise in Miami, video shot by a bystander showed.
The video, recorded by Macie Norrod, showed the crane’s arm flying through the air before crashing through palm trees on an elevated pool area at the One Plaza West Brickell condo building.
Norrod saw the incident unfold from her home office, saying she had been “in shock and disbelief,” according to a report from Storyful.

“I thought I was about to watch the workers die from being squashed by the weights of the crane,” Norrod said.
Her video showed workers in green vests clinging to the upper portion of the structure during the collapse before eventually climbing down ladders to the ground.
The crane, not yet operational, was being assembled that afternoon when it experienced “some kind of failure,” Miami Fire Rescue spokesperson Lt. Pete Sanchez told Fox News Digital.

After that failure, the arm fell onto the rooftop deck and was partially submerged in the pool, according to a photo shared with Fox News Digital by Miami Fire Rescue.
“Firefighters immediately accessed the pool deck and conducted a thorough search, confirming that no victims were present,” Sanchez said. “The pool deck was secured and cordoned off to prevent residents and the public from entering the area while crews ensured the scene remained safe.”
