Ever wonder how maintenance men get to the top of those soaring communication towers and antennas? If this freaky video is any indication, they do it by climbing narrow ladders, gripping thin metal bars, and tip toeing on platforms scarcely wider than their feet (and they do it without a safety rope in some instances!)
Check out this video of a tower engineer climbing to the top, the VERY top, of a 1,768-foot tower. To provide some perspective, a 1,768-foot tower soars over the Eiffel Tower and The Empire State Building, and is taller even than the the Sears Tower in Chicago (the tallest building in the United States). If you aren't fond of heights I don't suggest you watch.
