Scenes from Morristown’s steeple rescue at the United Methodist Church

0

Three hours stuck high above Morristown would be enough to make anyone a basket case. But two contractors who were stranded in a basket while restoring the steeple of the United Methodist Church took the incident remarkably calmly.

So, for that matter, did all the firefighters, EMTs and police who responded to the unusual incident.

Our kudos to MG correspondent Berit Ollestad for capturing these great images at the scene. And many thanks, too, to MG contributor Beth Kujan for her help posting our Tweets to the website.
