VIDEO: Emergency crews rescued a crane operator Wednesday morning after he suffered a medical episode high above a downtown construction site. The rescue unfolded about 10 stories above the 1100 block of Twiggs Street about 9:30 a.m. after the operator couldn't get down himself, said Tampa Fire Rescue Capt. Brian Eichholz. Crews lowered the crane operator to the ground in a stretcher basket about 10:15 and an ambulance rushed him to a local hospital. Authorities did not release the man's name or the type of medical episode.
