Last week Gwinnett county Fire and Emergency Services performed a high angle rescue involving a boom truck pinned against a digital billboard. Looks like something went wrong when someone was working on a Clear Channel Outdoor digital. The individual involved was lowered to the ground safely and sustained only minor injuries.

It’s obvious Clear Channel is putting Nitrogen in their truck tires.
First of all they are way to far away to back up to it especially on a slope plus they should be swinging the boom out to the side and not fully extending out the back as presented. I know they have a hill there but for crying out loud, USE A LADDER!!! Lol
