Hapless Romeo planned to propose to his girlfriend from the basket of a crane at her bedroom window
Cherry picker toppled over and smashed through roof of neighbours' property leaving a massive hole
Up to six flats were evacuated after the building in the Dutch town of Ijsselstein was declared unsafe
Despite the proposal flop the man's girlfriend reportedly still said 'yes' and they have gone to Paris to celebrate

Re: Craned
That's one proposal that went with a boom!

Re: Craned
Well, at least she said "yes"....
This guy may not be the sharpest bulb on the tree, but at least he's not as clueless as the guy who shelled out 20 grand on the heart made of iPhones just to have his "beloved" say no...

Re: Craned
Well, the story says they've gone to Paris to celebrate their engagement, but since that's only about the same distance from their town in Holland as from here to Reno, that may be less impressive then it sounds...the wedding & honeymoon will be done on the cheap.

People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.
