As the boom was raised about one hundred feet, the leg sank into the ground, causing the crane truck to turn over and land on the house. Shappy says there was a worker was in the boom at the time, who came down with the crane but miraculously wasn't injured in the fall. 

I said, 'any broken bones or anything like that?' [He said] 'No, no I'm ok.
