That was a great rescue! However, the crane collapsing shown in the next clip is not the one the man was trapped on. The one he was trapped on was at an almost horizontal position, but the other one collapsed from an almost vertical position.

@kapilsds7 He is almost certainly on a 'Hammerhead Tower Crane'. Those are always horizontal. The one collapsing looks more like a 'Luffing Tower Crane' which can tilt from almost vertical to almost horizontal. Look them up to see the difference.

@aizekenjsey Yes, that's very possible.
