Firefighters in Munich rescue injured workers from water using a crane
In the heart of Munich, Germany, an unexpected incident unfolded in the early hours of the night. A woman found herself in a precarious situation after falling from a crane at a construction site in the Old Town.
The exact location within the construction site and the second site where the woman fell are yet to be specified. The injured woman was swiftly taken to a local clinic for urgent medical attention.
The rescue operation was a collaborative effort between the Munich Fire Department and the construction workers on site. The firefighters, equipped with their high-rescue team, deployed a stretcher basket at the crane hook to safely retrieve the woman.
Interestingly, the rescue operation involved the use of an existing crane on the construction site, but there's no information available about a previous crane being used in the rescue of a worker who had reportedly fallen into a shaft at the same site.
The nature and severity of both the woman's and the worker's injuries remain undisclosed. The identity of the woman and the worker have not been revealed to the public.
Despite the lack of detailed information about the incident, it's reassuring to know that the cooperation between the emergency services and construction workers ensured a smooth rescue operation.
