CNN picks it up but, only mentions it happened in "Ontario" and not the city? Also says "the military" It's too bad Trenton's amazing rescue crew didn't get a shout out.

It was absolutely freezing up there with it being -22 on the ground. Stunning rescue though. The hour or so before hand was horrible though. People shouting up to the man to "hang on" and other encouragement. Really it is just incredible he did not fall. His hand was burnt while he was trying to climb to the end of the crane so he struggled to get out to the end in some pain. He did however say he is not afraid of heights!
