Girl at the End of a Construction Crane

Post by ontario claret » Thu Apr 27, 2017 9:46 pm

People going to work in downtown Toronto yesterday morning were horrified to see a girl sitting on the end of a line of a construction tower cable, some 25 storeys above the street. Nobody knows how or why she got there, other than alcohol and/or drugs were involved. A fireman had to climb up the tower and shimmy down the line in order to attach a rope and harness to her and then they were lowered to the ground. Then, he went off to play hockey as a goaltender with his fire station team. Oh, hum. Just another day on the job. Has this entered the media loop in Europe at all?

Girl with a dragon tattoo sounds more interesting.

Some people just love the thrills of heights.

Climbing down a construction crane cable in the middle of the night goes way beyond "the thrill of heights."

I wouldn't recommend watching this if you are afraid of heights

I don't have a head for heights and this one always makes my palms sweat.

Truthfully I thought it was a follow up to her being on a train.
