debbier Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 It is now back up, thanks to Sky News' lack of scruples regarding copyright Poor bloke - just shows how quickly something gets acquired on the web. Sky have permission to show it. So it's not fair to blame them! http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Strange-News/Video-Of-Transmission-Workers-Scaling-1768ft-Tower-Becomes-Internet-Hit/Article/201009315734486?f=rss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I wonder who they got the permission from - it must have been the company that the friend works for - considering the numerous approaches to get it stopped. I notice Sky haven't mentioned who gave permission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 You could not pay me enough to do that. I kept on thinking that they had reached the top but he kept on going When he finally reached the top I did not think that there was enough room up there for one, let alone two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 but not with envy I hasten to add. I couldn't watch it. My knees have gone and my feet feel funny I took the headphones off when he said about not using a safety line as it was much quicker!!!!

Old Speckled Hen Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Have you seen how much something that high sways? You couldn't appreciate it as the camera was on the guy's helmet but believe me there is quite a bit of lateral movement. Me? I can't even go up a ladder without feeling dizzy.

..lay a little egg for me Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Could hardly bear to watch it. Every time he looked down my stomach turned. I wouldn't do it for a million pounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept imagining them snapping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 It wasn't exactly climber friendly either, no proper rungs or anything handy to put your feet on. I imagine there's quite a bit of sway on something that tall and thin, do you know how much, OSH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have sent it to The Boy - he's pretty fearless where heights are concerned... I'll see what he thinks. I might even try it out on the neighbour who is a fireman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
