ATLANTA --

Firefighters climbed a towering construction crane in Buckhead Thursday to rescue a construction worker who blacked out on top of the structure.

The construction site is just north of Phipps Plaza and the Lenox Square mall.

Rescuers strapped the crane operator to a gurney and then lowered him down the side of the crane.
