Well only when I was a news editor and heard that an enterprising photographer who had hitched a ride up a crane to get some fab pix from on high - in the days before drone photography. The name of Rowland Hobson comes to mind. But never, ever, did I think that crane operators had their own stories to tell.
It makes your heart race just reading this! What stressful conditions these guys work under. Btw, I like to credit the journalist when posting on Twitter, who wrote this excellent piece?
Brilliant read! More like this please!
Brilliant article. My heart was in my mouth!
Absolutely amazing piece of long-form journalism - about people I've never thought of once in my life. Not ever! Thanks so much, Jack.
