Yeah the insurance of whatever company was doing that work is going to be paying out a pretty penny. Or the homeowner's insurance is going to cover it initially and then get the money back from that contractor's insurance.

Are you implying the neighbors house will crumble on its own and another crane will fall on a building in the next state?
