Buildings evacuated after proposal mishap

AMSTERDAM -- A Dutchman's attempt at a romantic wedding proposal was simply smashing. The unidentified lover in the town of Ijsselstein rented a crane, planning to descend in front of his girlfriend's bedroom window Saturday morning, play her a song and pop the question. Instead, the crane toppled over, smashing a large hole in the neighbors' roof. The man clambered to safety, and no one was injured. The girlfriend said "yes" anyway.
