Horrifying moment crane collapses at Japanese music festival, injuring Aussie teacher

A Perth teacher is reportedly one of four people seriously injured after a crane fell on a crowd at a music festival in Japan.

The woman suffered a skull fracture when the crane fell on people attending the Parasite Deja Vu Festival in Osaka on Sunday. Perth Now reported.

Emergency services were called around 1:35 p.m. local time and reported that “camera equipment weighing 240 kilograms had fallen and people were injured,” Japanese news site Asahi reported.

The crane, which was about 30 feet long, struck four female spectators between the ages of 20 and 40, local police and fire officials said.

The women were all reported to be bleeding from head injuries.

All four remained conscious after the horror crane crash, and their injuries are not life-threatening.

The festival, which was attended by 14,000 partygoers, was temporarily suspended after the incident to treat patients but later resumed.

In a shocking vision shared on social media, the crane is seen crashing into the crowd, who were dancing and singing along to the music.

When people realized what was happening, some ran for their lives, while others seemed to indicate that a serious accident had just happened.
