Lifting Statue of Goddess of Time, Dead, Destruction, Transformation Goes Wrong
A Kali Mata (or Durga) statue in India was destroyed when the 15-foot-tall idol toppled from a crane during a Navratri immersion ceremony.  The crane lost balance, causing the statue to shatter and fall, although thankfully the devotees escaped unharmed, with only the crane driver sustaining minor injuries |

Re: Lifting Statue of Goddess of Time, Dead, Destruction, Transformation Goes Wrong
The statue lived up to its purpose. In no time, there was destruction and the Kali Mata (or Durga) did a transformation from statue to garbage. I don't know if anyone died, though.

- Heavy Load. CHECK. - Maximum extension. CHECK. - Soft sloping ground. CHECK, CHECK. - Crane operator has no clue about centre of gravity. CHECK. |

I thought for a second they were coming to lynch the crane operator.

No big loss here. It looked like garbage to begin with. |
