Tower climbing video

Well, that stinks. Says the video has been removed due to a copyright claim. :facts:


**EDIT** Found another posting of it on YouTube, until this one gets removed. I have to say, this one made the hair stand up on the back of my legs, especially the part near the end, where he takes one leg off the ladder to swing the toolbag around it, only holding on with one arm and the other leg.

They are grounded, if lightning hit, they would die.

If they are hit by lightning directly while being on the tower, they are toast. If the lightning hits the tower, they would be OK.

What the? Exterior ladder without a solid side rail? "ladders" consisting of bolts on a stick? Who designed that death trap?

Aw, your link was taken down too. I feel like I'm missing out.

That is terrifying, no way I'd do it. I got dizzy towards the end of the video. When I was on top of the Rockefeller Center, it was very windy when it seemed clam at street-level.

I saw that this morning on anther site. I'm not generally afraid of heights but I felt a little light headed at a few points while watching that!
