Thank you, I really had to laugh. They had to find someone with no fear of heights.
It makes me wonder how they built it. If you look to our ENE at the leaning towers, and the approximately 370-feet high tower crane, and realize it takes the crane operator about 20 minutes to climb up in the morning (I’ve watched him), and then compare that to the height of the Burj Khalifa (828m or 2717 ft, and it took an hour for them to climb the top mast), how was it constructed? Was there a tower crane taller than that, and who would climb up in the morning? By the way, if you look up as jets pass overhead on the way to SeaTac, most of them are about 2700 ft altitude as they pass us (which means they’re about 2600 ft above us, since we’re about 100 ft above sea level) about as high as this tower in the video. My question, again: how was it constructed?
