The heavy storm on Friday evening also caused dangerous scenes at a construction site in Vienna-Landstrasse. An attentive “Krone” reader reporter observed how a crane went completely out of control due to the strong wind.
In the video you can see how the crane goes crazy at the construction site on Modecenterstrasse. Concerned neighbors immediately alerted the emergency services.
No injuries
Fortunately, according to the Vienna Fire Department, no one was injured in the incident. The “unusual phenomenon” was caused by the surrounding high-rise buildings and the resulting wind.
Road closed
The road and construction site were completely closed during the operation. A requested engineer from the crane company was able to give the green light again a short time later.
