Take your dramamine before viewing this helmet cam footage

Video showing repairman climbing a 1768 foot broadcast tower. Check out the timestamp at around 35 seconds for a comparison of just how high 1768 feet is in relation to other tall buildings.

Check out the end for a view from "up there."

I think this link will be unintentionally re-posted here at least twice more before year's end. What do you think? What's the over/under?

"...and that's how you get to the top of a transmission tower." Yeah, but how do you get down? I get weird cleaning out our gutters.

i'm not clicking since I don't "do" heights. even thinking about it makes me queasy and I have work to do for the rest of the day (irregardless of what I'm doing responding here at the moment...)

Probably not a bad idea considering that the comparison they show is how the broadcast tower is higher than the Empire State Building and even the Sears/Willis Tower (1481 feet tall).

Did you guys hear that the Norwegian Prime Minister ran his government from an iPad?

BTW, I'm searching for a B/W laser printer mostly to proof copies.....
