Horrifying moment a 98ft crane topples over in 90mph winds in Poland as storms batter Europe

This is the horrifying moment a 98ft crane toppled over in 90mph winds and crushed two builders to death in Poland as storms battered Europe. 

Footage posted online shows debris, including leaves, plastic and panels of plasterboard, flying through the air in high winds and lashing rain in Krakow, Poland. 

The 98ft crane initially looks stable despite the weather conditions, part of Storm Eunice that brought record 122mph winds to the UK, but then starts to fall backwards.

The crane, which was out of service at the time, disappears behind an apartment block as it smashes down, killing two workers and injuring another two, police said. 

Polish officials, who have opened an investigation into the accident, recorded wind speeds of up to 40mph in the area on Thursday.
