Well picked up Pier Master.
An amazing 'good news' story which could so easily have ended in tragedy up there. 
I wish the engineer a speedy and safe recovery, & that he suffers no permanent disablement..
What a truly remarkable feat by the emergency services. 
"Orthopaedic surgeons arrived by air ambulance at 11:30 BST and worked for six hours on the man who is now stable."
&
"After nearly four hours a vascular surgeon was brought in from Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, firefighters said."
