crane falls killing TikTok star in Russia
A female crane operator who became a TikTok star with videos of herself working has died after high winds toppled her 40-foot crane to the ground.
Single mother-of-two Elvira Demidova, 31, was killed instantly in the accident when her cabin smashed to the ground in Tyumen, a major oil hub in Russia.
Ms Demidova, who had 41,000 subscribers on TikTok, had a son and daughter.
She became famous on the social media platform because of her honest stories about her daily life as a crane operator.
A crowdfunding effort has been set up to raise money for her funeral, and also to care for her two children, who will be brought up by Ms Demidova's mother.
Nikolay Russu - the boss of the company she worked for, Mostostroy-11, was decorated by Vladimir Putin in 2020 for the company's part in constructing the bridge linking annexed Crimea with Russia.
The company has won a number of major state contracts, and Russia is an MP with pro-Putin political party United Russia.
A video from 72.ru shows how the crane toppled over in the sudden high winds.
A criminal investigation is underway into her death.
