They found a man in his 20s, unresponsive and locked inside the cab at the top of a 30-metre-tall construction crane. The man, believed to be intoxicated, had fallen asleep after scaling the crane overnight on Joseph Howe Drive, a busy stretch of road connecting the Armdale roundabout and the Bedford Highway. Brad Connors, district chief of Halifax Regional Fire and Emergency, said the construction crew called 911 around 7:15 a.m. AT after the crane operator had unsuccessfully tried to rouse the man. The man was unresponsive when discovered locked inside the cab of this crane. "Our rescue technicians did a fantastic job," said Connors.
