South American workmen narrowly escaped death after a huge crane crashed down at a worksite.
Two large cranes were believed to be transporting a long concrete beam in Colombia on August 11, when it collapsed pulling a crane down with it.
Video footage of the incredible close call, posted to the Accidentes Al Instante Villavo El Original Facebook page captures the moment the beam crumbles and knocks one of the cranes over in the process.
Two workers wearing orange safety gear can be seen inches from where the machine begins to topple over, ducking as debris pelts down around them.
The pair are lucky to avoid being knocked over as the crane falls to the ground.
