Would You Do This Job For $300,000 Per Year

[jjgold]

this one I would not even do

[CanuckG]

Video is fake (photoshop). Think about it. Who would every do that? Nobody. There'd be guys falling all over NY city and landing in the streets and all. Plus OSHA wouldn't allow it. Some kid made a fake ass video and you people believed it. That's major pwnage right thar! Those light beacons at the top are designed to self-fix if they break. Nobody does this.

Video is not photoshopped are you drunk?

[shari91]

No kidding, if I get ten feet up, the fire department is gonna have to come get me down.

I'm only laughing because I'd probably be the same way

[tony_come]

Going down is a bitch

[HauntingTheHoly]

Video is not photoshopped are you drunk?

Dude, that video is definitely fake. Think about it. WHO is gonna do something like that, even for a billion dollars? Who?? That's right, nobody. Fake ass video is fake.

Nice troll bro

[Bigbill365]

i use to have to climb radio towers 1200feet high i could only use a harness 400feet up then there was no connectors for it.I had to take a low dose of xanax to steady my hands though

[spike420211]

I won't even go up a telephone pole or a steep-sloped roof... fuk this.
W/ my luck, I'd get 1 of those star-shaped anti-static thingies stuck 2 my pants leg...

[CanuckG]

I guess this is fake too Just a figment of our imagination

Nah it's real. It was an engineering site who posted it in the first place a year ago.

Someone has to go up there... how do you think they got the bloody thing constructed in the first place? It's not like they can build it on the ground, lay it flat across 1738 feet and then just raise it up into position.

[spike420211]

sure they can, in 300-foot sections.

[Bigbill365]

sure they can, in 300-foot sections.

how do you think they construct a crain jackass

[shari91]

sure they can, in 300-foot sections.

Sure and how do they attach the pieces and make sure it's secure? You need people to build the crane and then go up there.

Googling "tower climbers" = almost 5 million results. People do this lunatic crap for a living and most of them are paid dirt wages for a job that was designated the most dangerous for like 9 years in a row according to deaths vs number of people doing it.

I want to know what happens when you drop an important tool.

[DrStale]

I want to know what happens when you drop an important tool.

I would imagine a hell of a lot of swearing.

[shari91]

One of the tower climbers on another site said it's a bitch when you forget your lunch

Seriously unless someone was holding my son hostage there is no way I'd do this. Not even for $10 million.

[soul786]

this one I would not even do

This ain't all that bad I've done it. Once you're out there and walk a bit it's not scary at all. Allowed to hang over the edge so long as your feet are still on the platform. Leaning over the edge is the best thrill

[The Inevitable]

Doesn't stuff start moving around at that height? Sway, I think it's called. If so, I couldn't handle the shifting.

[frizzelli]

Shari I was a tower climber does that turn you on girl?

[shari91]

Shari I was a tower climber does that turn you on girl?

Maybe for like 30 seconds until I think of your wife boot stomping my face.

[DudleyDawson]

I did this back in the day

[Deuce]

Landers would do it for a nickle to reload.

[BEANTOWNJIM]

[nic9212]

[sweep]

Watched this on saturday with a half a load on...Almost puked when he looked down.

[JJJ]

what happens when its lunch time for the guy state rules insist before 6 hours he needs a lunch

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Easily. Im not afraid of heights? how did that video makes you guys nauseated?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Scariest part to me is climbing outside of the ladder box because those hooks you climb up when your not secure can be faulty. Say 1 snaps your dead.

[Br0nxer]

almost got sick just watching it
