Video on the above link [A crane operator has rescued a worker from a roof close to a burning building. Firefighters were called to the Station Hill development in Reading, which has since been cordoned off, at 11:40 GMT. Video footage from social media shows a person being lifted by a crane from the roof of a building, prompting applause from a crowd below. Crane operator Glen Edwards said it had been a "very close call" due to swirling winds. "I looked out my left-hand window and saw a guy standing on the corner of the building," said the 65-year-old, from Egham, Surrey. "I'd only just seen him and someone said 'can you get the cage on', so that was it, I got the cage on and got it over to him the best I could. "I tried to put the cage down between him and the flames, but I was hampered by the wind swirling around there. But I got the cage down and I managed to get him in there." https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...s-heroics.html ![]() Last edited by arista; 23-11-2023 at 05:43 PM. |
