One Illinois electrician had a particularly bad – and scary – day on the job. A.J. Gow was working on a gas station sign 130 feet in the air when he ended up getting trapped inside. Hours went by, and it got hotter and hotter. As Gow began to lose hope of ever being rescued, he recorded goodbye messages to his family. Thankfully, he is now safe and back at work, though he says he's going to stay inside the lift bucket from now on. Inside Edition's Justin Finch reports.
