Mark,
Fantastic, it reminds me when I worked for a wireless Internet co. whom had servers on the 81st floor of the Empire State Building, I was assigned to check antennas on the top parapet of the ESB, which was not fun in 40 knot winds and the building swaying in that wind, I was up against the wall walking around the perimeter hoping there was nothing wrong with the antennas!!! Scary, always kept a change of shorts in my bag!!!

Yeah, I've seen half of that before. Half is all I want to watch.

The "worst" work videos I've seen are of the guys who repair high tension lines. They are delivered to the wires by a helicopter. The guy in the video linked below says he afraid of there things: electricity, heights, and women.

I think you meant to say "three" things. But, maybe you did mean "there" things. If that's the case then it doesn't make sense to me.

I was nervous just watching it. I just want to know who the camera man was that filmed him. Possibly a drone?

The guys who change the light bulb on top of those monster antennas have some pretty good views from their office, too. http://www.uncommonreality.com/interesting/how-to-change-a-light-bulb-on-a-1500-tower-gulp/
