    That's a wrecker and a lull. Pretty funny but I think the crane was there just as a safety precaution for a forklift not designed to carry humans.

    They had to remove part of the wall to remove him from the apartment.
    He should be on the ground floor anyway.

    Will they bring a wrecker back out to lift him back to the second floor?

    If he could not get out of the apartment how did he get food? Was it Door-Dash? If it was a family member how could they do that to him by letting him get that big.

    How do they afford rent and mega quantities of food on SSI? And why do they qualify for SSI, just because they can't control their food intake?
