Meanwhile, another such video of a dramatic video went viral online last month. The clip captured the dramatic rescue of a man stuck on a burning skyscraper in the United Kingdom. It showed a large fire at a construction site – with the man trapped on a roof surrounded by flames and thick black smoke. A metal cage was carefully lowered, allowing him to clamber in and be hoisted to safety.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The clip was snapped in Reading city centre before the stranded man was luckily bundled into a cage and pulled to safety. The video showed the heart-stopping moment the fire seemingly grows, inching closer and closer to the man.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
