Default Russian nutters climb Shanghai Tower (650 meters)

Horrific





"Hello everybody! Almost two years ago Vadim and I had planned a trip along Chinese biggest cities, from Hong Kong to Shanghai. The main purpose of the journey was world’s highest construction building – Shanghai tower. Now it is under construction and so far its height is a little more than 650 meters. So now it is the world’s second high building after Burj Khalifa in UAE. Aware of the strict Chinese law, we prepared carefully and picked an appropriate date, the Chinese New Year day. At that time the security was less watchful, workers were on vacations, and cranes did not work. We got to the crane at around midnight. It took us almost two hours to get on the 120th floor by foot. And also, we spend almost 18 hours on top of the building, sleeping and waiting for better weather. The result you can see in the video."

I had to stop watching that, as it was making me feel dizzy just watching.

Absolute idiots. Life is too precious to risk it in such a cavalier fashion. Some poor guys HAVE to work at ridiculous heights just to make a living and often pay with their lives, but these nutters are.... Words fail me.

I've seen this bunch or similar do this on other structures, they usually do it without any supports ... completely mental

The problem with these guys is, they are just silly youths trying to get youtube attention. Not surprisingly, a lot have died doing this.

This is much more scary to me. Alex Honnold is my all time hero but if he carries on doing this much longer, he's going to die.
