The worker was trapped at a height of 130 feet–higher up than what the Columbus Division of Fire could reach with their tallest ladders. Crews were able to access the patient through the inside of the structure, and Columbus fire crews worked with other construction workers to bring the injured man down in a basket, according to a report from WBNS.
