The tower maintence worker work at 50 meter high with very dangerous situation for one hour
On September 25th, about 7:30, one worker who work in one tower crane of Linping area accidentally slipped from high altitude, hanging in the 50 meter height for about one hour, but finally rescued by fire fighting department and police station of Shuguang road successfully.
The site user also upload a picture which make you cold from shoulder to back: the cross arm of high tower, a man walking his feet on one cable, both hands held high and grasp another cable, stay in height shake and crumble.
On 7:10, the 110 and 119 received a alarm call, said that a worker accidentally slipped from the crane when he do repair work, was hanging on the wire rope. Yuhang fire fighting Linping squadron and Shuguang road police station of Yuhang go to the site immediately.
The site is a flats site of Yuhang Star road, the house was built up 15 floor.
There’s at least 50 meters from the tower to the ground, the following site is full of reinforced upright, if he fall down, he certainly dead. I really willies when I saw this, the site safety guard said.
The young guy who hanging on the cross arm, with feet on the rope, crying to the people from time to time, but no one can hear it, his colleague told us that he was crying for help, at first his voice is very loud, but later his voice is lighter and lighter because of tired, then we can’t hear any more.
Rescue was carried out immediately, we made three plans.
First one, we can put lifesaving air cushion under the crane below, but we find it’s impossible to do so, as it is 15 floors height construction building underneath.
The second plan, putting the fire fighting climb ladder near the tower to save him, but we find it’s hard to put the fire fighter climb ladder near the tower, as the tower was erected on the building.
We can only choose the third plan, and it’s also the most dangerous plan: two fire fight man climb to the tower with the harness tie on their body, then climb to the trapped men slowly, close to him, tie him with rope, hanging up and then save him.
40 minutes one firemen climb to the upper position of the trapped man, upload his harness and tie it on the trapped man, another fireman work together with him, tie the harness on his body, the two fireman can’t lift the trapped man, so the police and firefights reinforcement, four people lift the trapped man to the cross arm together, one hour later, the trapped man finally saved.
The trapped man’s family name is Tian, more than 20 years old, from Shandong Heze, he is the tower crane worker, he is responsible for the repair work of tower crane at usual, he is a good technology, other people said, Small Tian was repairing the tower crane before this accident.
Why so skilled Small Tian slide down from the tower?
Small Tian’s master frowned and said, that night before, Xiaotian got quarrel with his girl friend on the phone, they break up, so this morning small Tian was with very bad mood, he felt wronged and acted rashly, climb to there without tie the harness, his feet slide, big accident almost happed.
Small Tian’s master told us, do job like theirs, take high risk to earn money, if you work with bad mood, that’s certainly dangerous.
