MIAMI (WSVN) – A crane arm came crashing down into a pool at a high-rise in Miami, Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
7Skyforce hovered over the scene near 1818 Southwest First Avenue.<\/p>\n
The crane\u2019s arm appeared to cave in, falling down into part of the building\u2019s pool on the upper levels.<\/p>\n
Cellphone video from inside the high-rise shows a clear view of how far the crane arm extended as it came crashing down into the pool.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt looks literally like a twisted roller coaster going straight into the pool,\u201d said building resident Liam Stojanovic.<\/p>\n
Stojanovic spoke with 7News after returning home to find a crane had fallen onto the building.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t there at the time but I\u2019m sure it would have shocked the living crap out of anyone who was home at the time,\u201d said Stojanovic.<\/p>\n
Fire officials said the crane was being assembled at the time of the arm collapse. It was not moving or operational when it happened.<\/p>\n
The arm twisted and fell after experiencing some kind of failure, according to Miami Fire Rescue.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a construction crane. It collapsed, hit the side of the building and fell into the pool,\u201d according to audio on Broadcastify.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s super bizarre. I\u2019ve never seen anything like that,\u201d said Stojanovic.<\/p>\n
No injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe crane seems to be stable. Gonna have to tear it down piece-by-piece. There\u2019s no victims,\u201d according to audio on Broadcastify.<\/p>\n
Meantime, Stojanovic and his neighbors are breathing a sigh of relief that nobody was near the pool when it happened.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt could have been a lot worse,\u201d said Stojanovic.<\/p>\n
Miami Fire Rescue says the city\u2019s building department has deemed the garage that resides underneath the pool to be safe. The pool deck will remain closed until crews can clean up all the damage.<\/p>\n
