Exclusive Interview With Hero Crane Operator Glen Edwards | Good Morning Britain

Let’s get the terminology correct. He was a not a hero on this occasion. But he is a useful, compassionate man who knows what to do when it needs doing. A great man to have around when things get tough. Unfortunately bedwetting media wankers can’t quite understand how normal people behave when things are tough.

EDIT: “In this world of health and safety…” These are the @rses who indirectly create these incidents.

Brilliant, a skilled man.

H.R. H. Award him a medel

Make this man. Knight of the realm arise Sir….what a brilliant man. Nerves of steel.

Glen should get a bravery medal for his quick thinking and saving that guys life, after all he was at danger from the smoke from the fire he's a real hero,

Hats off geeza. Great guy 😊👍.

The heaviest load you ever lift nerve recking, blind controlling still you make the landing safe. You will never forget this maneuver. 👏🏼👏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

That’s a true hero

The look she gives RM 9.29. Can’t stand her. Only watched it to hear his rescue story.

Smooth operator.

Someone needs a better phone...that video footage is shocking 😅😅

Great story and high level of professionalism from him and his team. Sounds like a story from New York rather Reading. Remarkable.
I wonder what previous construction projects he’s previously worked on?

Great skill and a cool head well done

Not all heroes wear capes ❤

A true stand up guy!

Horrible camera work

Dude should have free drinks of his choice at any establishment for the rest of his life

❤❤❤

30 years of experience. The details were instinctive. He knew that he couldn't swing the cradle around over to the guy. It would be too difficult to dampen down the swing once it got to the guy. That's why he kept emphasizing that he, "dropped it straight down." He knew his measurements and angles from previous materials deliveries to that level. It was so well executed when it absolutely mattered.
