What a guy,not just for the rescue but also acknowledging all the others in the act of helping,good on him 👏🏻👏🏻
What a boss. A great example of how age and experience in the building trade is so important. Go fund this guy! 🎉🍻
Pay that experience on to our younger generation.
I'm an ex-crane driver and being up there you can see a lot and I think that's what helped that poor guy on the roof. Glen kept cool and did his job, so big shout out to him. The wind from the fire must have been horrendous, so great piece of driving mate.
This guy deserves a medal, bless him. Well done mate.
65 years old. That’s a lot of experience! Lovely guy
There are still heroes in this world. God bless him.
Give this real hero a medal 🏅 or OBE or Humane Society reward! Brilliantly executed rescue! Set a good example.
A true hero and unlike these clown "celebrities"and 🤡"Royals", Glen has remained humble. You can see the bashful glee in his face, he's a true builders 👷♂️ hero! My ex works as a builder. Ex South London, Reading isn't too far away! A medal 🏅! UK 30.11.23
More like a KGM (King's Gallantry Medal)..
This guy is old school, salt of the earth Londoner, the best kind
The right man for the job at the precise moment when and where he was needed. Well done Glen. Glad everyone seems to be okay. Good job and hope he and the other gents get those well deserved drinks!
Not all hero's wear capes as a crane operator myself I take my hat off to Glen for his quick thinking saving his colleague
What a great guy … humble and a hero for sure! You deserve a medal for your bravery and helping someone in time of great need! I’m sure he will be forever grateful 🥇
I give him the KGM (King's Gallantry Medal) for that rescue..
What a top bloke! Genuine hero. I wish I could buy him a pint.

Team effort, don't forget the other guys. They're all heroes
What a man he stepped in to help and save his colleagues life construction people stick to gethwr if one goes down every one will gather around and have each others back. And the pint is just a standard way to say thank you. They worked together for this life saving task. God bless you and your ground colleagues.
Glen should get a bravery medal for his quick thinking and saving that guys life, after all he was at danger from the smoke from the fire he's a real hero,

Great skill and a cool head well done
Top bloke
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Legend. Renewed my faith in mankind
Great story and high level of professionalism from him and his team. Sounds like a story from New York rather Reading. Remarkable.
I wonder what previous construction projects he’s previously worked on?
Wonder what started a fire on a brand new high rise to begin? health & safety must’ve been lax then
❤
Aye, look close enough and you’ll find that Britain does indeed still have a spine.
Yep....there's those who destroy, plot and plan wicked things, take-take-take and bring nothing but misery to the world, and then....there are those humble, hard-working, large-hearted, salt-of-the-earth types who step forward instinctively reaching out to help those in dire conditions without stopping to analyze the costs or dangers to self.... GOD BLESS THIS NOBLE GIANT OF A QUIET MAN, AND THE REST OF THE TEAM THAT DAY. May all who hear of this remarkable rescue stop, give PRAISE TO GOD for so placing the team to ensure the man in jeopardy is restored to his loved ones, and be better people by the example just witnessed! How many 'could' help strangers, and pause! How many don't? Fires and Storms and Trials in life happen every day.... What 'can' you do??? Food for thought! : )
Shows not all super heroes wear tights
Glen has been offered a job at the new Alton Towers theme ride Cranium
Why’s it all blurred out ???
We need him for PM a safe pair of hands and doesn't blame everyone else
Third major incident at this site in 18 months!!! Two major fires in 4 months and major scaffolding collapse prior to this!!
Edge of the fire not the middle .
Bruce Willis of Reading???
i only watch these to see susannah
She only does that job for you mike
what do you even mean by this?@@stephen3654
Why has the footage been blurred
It’s not blurred, just zoomed in. The original video was shot from the ground.
Why blur the video???
Had it not been for health and safety there would be no safety cradle or rescue training
Good point.
I think Glen looks like the actor Ian Bartholomew, who played Geoff Metcalfe in Coronation Street.
fella is 20 stories up - was the grounds man yelling out instructions 😂 no mate we have radio 😂
Dude should have free drinks of his choice at any establishment for the rest of his life
Trolley push outs are still a thing
