Seeker Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 A couple of Russian guys climb a crane on top of the Shanghai Tower during construction. Watch it full-screen on your biggest monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Cronin Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Ho - Ly - CRAP!! I don't know if I've ever watched anything that made me that uncomfortable?! I found myself shrinking back from my screen the whole time they were up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeker Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 Stupid? Well, maybe, but they are obviously confident in their abilities and the self control and mental discipline is impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kip Powick Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Loved it....wish I was there !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southshore Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Even at this age, stuff like this makes my "good buddies" try and crawl back up from where they came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon The Loon Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This one was pretty hairy too! PS I nearly fell off my chair watching Seeker's post. Thought I was going to die from the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishing point Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I can't even write what I was thinking, this being a family forum and all. While this is incredible, I'd like to know how they built the crane in the first place.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbi Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I don't get it... these guys are incredible because they did what the qualified workers who work everyday on those towers do, but without the safety cables and filmed themselves???

Mizar Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I was hoping that they were going to do a BASE jump and leap from the top. There is a park down below. Was disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Hudson Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Agree, Kip - would love to have done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mizar Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Why, is he a skydiver. The only part that makes me uncomfortable is right at the very end when he stands up with nothing to hold onto and is looking down. I love heights as long as I am securely attached to something or have something secure to hold onto.Best part of the video is the buildings sticking through the clouds.

Kip Powick Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I'm thinking those two guys are pretty happy about the invention of LEDs.I would imagine they would be pretty PO'd if they found out, that once on the ground, the replacement bulb failed to work.

Southshore Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This is a short version of a video I had trouble staying in the room to watch. I literally was standing up hanging on to my chair. I knew they were safe - I was watchng the video. But it was all I could do to continue watching. Humans are funny. Go find the full version to get totally creeped out. Errg.
