“When we walked in, the fire was on the first floor and the flames were lapping up the stairs. Firefighter David Martin knocked back the flames with an extinguisher and we ran up to find the kids.

Kevin Daley How much counterweight did the vehicle/crane have on it? In the video, it seemed obvious that this would happen? Were the operators experienced? Where did they train?

Philip Eskelin Can't thank you guys enough for what you do. Saw that crane looming over the Western Union building just minutes before it came down, then listened to you deal with it on the radio. Total order and control. THANKS!!
