The dad of three, 30, was an hour late and hurrying to climb the crane on a 52-storey
building when a helicopter hit it, showering burning wreckage on to cars in the road below.
He said: “I should be dead.”
Lucky Nicki was not at his crane’s controls yesterday morning because his son failed to wake
him up for once.
Nicki relies on four-year-old Dino jumping on his bed early each morning to wake him up and
get him to work on time at 7am.
But yesterday the lad slept in - making Nicki an hour late.
He was rushing to climb the crane on the side of the mist-shrouded St George Wharf
tower when the helicopter smashed into it and exploded into flames.
Pilot Peter Barnes died instantly in the 8am crash. Matt Wood, 39, who was walking to work
along the road below the tower, was killed as burning debris rained down.
