Chicago Tribune reporter Emily Nunn offers an interesting, though ultimately disappointing day-in-the-life story about a crane operator at the Trump Tower construction site. The interview with operator Mike Freeman, who’s office is 210 feet above grade, covers everything from bathroom facilities (none available) to equipment repairs (helicopter rescues always a possibility), but after a very long tease, Nunn chickens out and won’t go beyond rung four of what was supposed to be her (and our) birdseye view.

yeah, clearly she shouldn’t have brought the purse. and the trib should really do a better job pointing their readers to the pictures, which are a necessary part of this story.
my link didn’t take. i’ll try to figure out why; in the meantime, the crane pictures are at http://www.chicagotribune.com/crane for those who want to see what emily missed out on.
