"That cost me a lot physically and psychologically over the years," stated Crossman.
In contrast, Crossman credited his current production crew, including producer George, editor Mark, an unnamed engineer, and football commentator Ian Dennis, for managing the Mexico City episode flawlessly.
"Luckily for me, when it happened in Mexico City, I don't want to do one of those Oscar speeches where you thank everyone and then forget somebody.
But our producer, George, who was there, and our editor, Mark, knew exactly what to do," said Crossman.
He noted that Dennis was able to coordinate first-aid measures remotely from a separate broadcasting base in the United States.
"Our engineer was great, and Ian Dennis, who is a very well-known 5 Live football commentator, knows what to do as well," added Crossman.
Dennis utilized his prior knowledge of Crossman's medical history to guide the technical team through the emergency protocols.
"He happened to be doing the commentary from somewhere else in America at the time, and he was able to say to the editor of the program back at base, 'This is something you can do, we've spoken about it and that thing,'" stated Crossman.
