Default Woman rescued from crane pulley block in Toronto.

It's amazing how she even got there in the first place.

Fire crews have said there was no immediate indication as to why the woman climbed atop the crane. They believe, however, that she had climbed up the crane, crawled out on to the end of it, and slid down a cable to the large pulley device she got stranded on.

Very impressive and brave rescue by the fire crew. She's now in custody on mischief charges. What part of her brain convinced her that this was a good idea?

She must have been at the end of her rope.

Should have left her there to figure it out on her own. Climb back up?
Hope they send her the rescue bill and cops apply the appropriate charge like trespassing or mischief.

Fire rescue is always amazing to me.

She either did this on a bet, on a impulse or she meant to hurt herself.

But at the end of the day, whether it was A B or C, just stupid.

Honestly impressed she could have gotten there on her own, that's a long way to slide down the cable without anything strapping her in.

Two thumbs up for the rescue team. Whatever her reason for getting there in the first place, its great to see others willing to help out without asking questions. Glad its not an unhappy ending for anyone.

Surprised she didn't have some kind of banner. Wonder if her friends abandoned her part way through the stunt.

maybe she was just trying to hook up with a firefighter

What if the first fireman got up there and she refused to be rescued until they sent up a cute one.

And then when she reached the ground she asked him to help her get out of these wet close.
