Not to wish ill on anybody, but please tell me this guy’s going to be fired.

In the Village Voice, found via Althouse:

Somehow, a garbage (some are saying a salt) truck managed to get in this precarious position, two stories high, dangling out of a sanitation garage at 58-35 52 Road at 59th Street in Queens. The FDNY tweeted the photo, which is, you have to admit, pretty freaking dramatic, especially because there was a guy inside. We spoke to an FDNY spokesperson, who told us that the call came in at 9:28, and that he didn’t know how the truck got where it was, but that the man inside was rescued with a tower ladder. Whew.

Roughly 25 units and 106 FDNY members were on scene by 9:34 for the rescue, which was considered “a major emergency.”

The driver, a 56-year-old male, sustained neck and back injuries and was transported to Elmhurst Hospital, where he’s in stable condition. Best wishes for a speedy recovery so you can tell us all how the hell this happened.

Yeah, speedy recovery and all that. And then, oh please, let the union raise a stink about him getting canned.
