Louisiana worker dangles from burning cherry-picker and
frantically scrambles in mid-air before plunging to ground...
This is from several reports - Dramatic footage shows a Louisiana utility worker dangling precariously on his harness from a fiery bucket truck before he plummeted to the ground. The unidentified man was flailing high above the road, hanging from the flamed-engulfed cherry picker as growing flames from the truck spit out thick, black smoke below on Tuesday, the video shows.
In dramatic footage caught by an onlooker, the man can be seen flailing in the air while trying to release himself from the harness tying him to the burning machine.
His desperate attempts to break free of the machine increased as the fire above him grew. The video also showed that a small fire had sparked below the man – leaving him surrounded by flames.
Finally, he managed to free himself and plummeted to the ground below - into the fire on the ground, Onlookers and fellow emolyees helped him escape the second fire.
The good news is - they guy is okay. Now THAT is a bad day at work, my freinds...
