Botched Marriage Proposal Destroys House

There’s a big hole in an Utrecht, Netherlands home where a man attempting to ask for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage failed to secure a crane outside her home. The crane fell over and smashed right into a neighbor’s house.

The man had wanted to surprise his partner by descending in front of her bedroom in the town of IJsselstein to sing her a song and pop the question. But the unsecured crane he used instead toppled into a neighbour's house. The woman still said yes, Dutch media report, and the couple are now said to be celebrating in Paris. Following the initial impact, more damage was done when the crane fell again during an attempt to right it.  Residents in nearby properties were evacuated but no one was injured.
