A maintenance worker in Wilmington, Illinois, is reported to have been trapped inside a 130-foot-tall gas station sign for about six to nearly seven hours. Multiple outlets say the incident began while AJ Gow was performing repair work at the sign. According to reports, his boom lift malfunctioned or failed during the job, leaving him unable to get down from the elevated position inside the sign. Fox News and the other outlets report that rescue efforts took several hours, with limitations noted related to fire truck ladders not being able to reach the height of the structure. During his time trapped, Gow reportedly remained conscious and signaled for help. Breitbart and the New York Post report that he gave a thumbs-up while stranded inside the sign, indicating he was alert despite the prolonged ordeal. The accounts agree on the location, the height of the sign, the approximate duration, and that the worker ultimately remained trapped while awaiting assistance.
