nope..

3 reasons :

I'm afraid of high places.. ;D

There will be no toilet.. ;D

Reaching that point even with elevator  will require half a day ;D

Birdie, birdie, flying high

Depends on the elevator Cem.The elevators in the twin towers went up 109 floors in just under a minute iirc. :y

There is,

No bloody way !!!

Ok, this may be a silly question, but how the hell do they build them there in the first place. I watched a crane being built behind my house last week and to do it they needed a mobile crane that was taller than the fixed one.

Its one of those questions thats always got me wondering but I never remember to find out an answer!

If the pay was right I would maybe 'think' about it  ;D

Forget it! It's already hot enough on the ground. The sun would melt your brains up there.

But there was an article done on the crane operator once, whom had the highest job in the world.

It's probably safer working up there, at least no one can drop anything on your head :o.

Just imagine the impact speed and fallout area.It really would be a case of 'sh*t happens' :y ;D

I wouldn't need a toilet up there, I would have sh*t myself around halfway up so no need.

eeeek.

Christ!!..........I got dizzy just looking at that!!!!! :o
There's no amount of money in the world that would get me up there...........well, maybe a couple of million might tempt me. ::)

What building is it and where?

There's a film on Youtube somewhere of some "urban exploration". Couple of guys managed to climb such a crane at night and were hanging off the end of the boom and doing all sorts of stunts with no visible safety gear (I guess a parachute would be your best bet!). Made me feel quite ill just watching it and I'm not normally someone who has problems with height.  :o

Think it might have been these idiots. In fact, looking at it again, he has a backpack on. Perhaps a 'chute?

Wouldn't catch me up there, that's for sure. :o

And came down a bloody sight faster on that awful day :(

was at the top on the 10th August,watched it all unfold on TV on 11th sep. can still remember looking down from the windows imagining how awful it would be to fall from that height.  :'(

If I worked in a high rise building I would have two items on me

A glass breaker and a parachute

you get a lift back down to the basement after work in the staff train   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Double spooky   :o    Was there too....  Did you notice a couple of dozen Scottish Scouts and leaders, perchance??   

Re: Job Vacancy.

I've no fear of heights and hate the winter here.

I'd do it - where do I sign up?

I have no fear of heights.  Edges, yes.  Heights, no.

Cant say that I remember seeing you and your troop H, that is quite spooky though that we  were both there on the same day. :o :y
