A moment of reflection at Bay and Adelaide

Rob Mac, better known as @Skyjacked793 or “the man who tweeted photos of a raccoon atop a sky crane,” has just announced his resignation as crane operator, bringing an end to photographs from new heights.

In a Twitter post made late Tuesday night, Mac said, “As it turns out @jeffkearns you saw my last lift at the L tower. I have resigned effective immediately.”

While there is no additional information on his resignation, he can rest assured that we and his 10.9K followers will miss his view from atop the city skyline.
