This is the moment a construction crane collapses into a mangled heap on the ground, crushing workers and parked vehicles below.
The incident took place on Oktyabrskoy Revolyutsii Avenue in Sevastopol, Crimea, on 15th August.
Dashcam video filmed by a passing car shows the crane at a construction site next to residential buildings tilting before it suddenly gives way and crashes to the ground.
Emergency services are at the scene.
Officials confirmed that the crane operator died and two workers were injured as a result of the collapse.
The cause of the accident has not yet been established.
Witnesses said that they had heard the crane making strange sounds an hour before the tragedy. They added that it fell just a few feet from a children's playground.
A criminal case for violation of safety rules has been opened while authorities investigate.
