A terrifying video is circulating on social media in which a worker is seen invaded by smoke at the top of One Station Hill, a 16-story skyscraper, which was on fire.
The man reacted quickly to save his life while the crane that took him to the roof of the construction was the means of rescue to get out of the hell in which he was going to consume himself.

According to Daily Mail, the worker was taken to the hospital to have his lungs checked.
Glen Edwards, the crane operator who rescued the man, revealed what those minutes of panic were like when he saw him in the middle of the conflagration, “I was driving the crane when I saw someone waving his coat to alert me. Then they told me on the radio that “There was someone trapped. The smoke didn’t allow me to see clearly, so they helped me over the radio to know when to raise the crane.”

To avoid accidents, Friar Street was closed and residents of the area were evacuated. Two people were taken to the hospital for smoke aspiration.
It is worth remembering that the same building also caught fire in July last year.
