Like the folk just north of you, or just south of you who are at negative heights above sea level.
......and to the east and to the west :eek: - we're on an oasis that's on the higher (I use that term rather loosely when you see pics of other's farms on here) bit between the Trent and the Ancholme:p:p
 
Did the crane fall onto a boat on the other side?

Yesterday morning, 31 October, a passenger ferry crashed into an STS crane at the APMT container terminal at the port of Barcelona, Spain. The crane collapsed on containers, 7 of which contained flammable products and caught fire. Dock workers were forced to flee the accident scene, so, luckily, no one was injured.

At the press conference, which was organized by the Port Authority the same afternoon, Jose Alberto Carbonell, Managing Director of the Port of Barcelona, said that the containers with dangerous goods did not pose a high risk and the fire had been soon extinguished.

The vessel that caused the collision was the RoRo-passenger vessel Excellent, operated under the Italian flag by GNV, Italian company Grandi Navi Veloci. It is reported to be manoeuvring in the port in adverse weather conditions, with strong winds that moved the vessel off course.

GNV confirmed that all passengers and crew members were safe and well. The vessel arrived from Genova and was carrying a total of 414 passengers, 59 of which were destined for Barcelona. However, all passengers disembarked at Barcelona and those to continue their voyage to Tangier, were to be transported by another GNV vessel. According to the Port of Barcelona, this next ship was to arrive the same evening.

Purely spectulating and I am sure TFF accident investigation dept will soon be along but I would say the booms clipped the side of the tunnel and banged against the tank making a hole.
