Watched it from 2 blocks away. One of the most amazing things I've witnessed in person, especially after watching him stranded up there for over an hour.

Unbelievable that there was no casualties or any major injuries.

Got to give credit not only to the Pilots, Crew and SAR Techs in the helicopter for their amazing rescue of the crane operator, but also to Kingston Fire Department for containing a fire which could easily have spread and the police department which helped control and evacuate the scene.

Bang on RG....it was a great job done by all involved.

 

Especially given the fact that there was a gas station right across the road...could have been much much worse.

 

Nice to see a good story and outcome, anytime really, but this close to the holidays
