IJSSELSTEIN, Netherlands — A romantic-minded Dutch man’s marriage proposal involving a crane went awry when the unsecured crane crashed into a neighboring home.
The man, whose name was not reported, rented a crane with the intention of lowering himself to his girlfriend’s bedroom window in IJsselstein to serenade her and pop the question, but the proposal went off-script when the unsecured crane toppled over and crashed into a neighbor’s roof.
