Firefighters help a man down from a high-tension tower after a 23-hour standoff in Xiangfan, Central China's Hubei province on June 3, 2010. The man, 26, surnamed Yuan, climbed to the high-tension tower about 8 pm on June 2, saying he was taking refuge after offending "more than 100 people" at his workplace, and he refused to be rescued. Rescuers managed to bring him down at 7 pm on June 3, after several rounds of unsuccessful negotiations. He is now receiving treatment at a hospital and is out of critical condition. [Photo/CFP]
