Im usually ok riding our boom trucks to about 70 feet. Being harness in makes me feel better, but i got week in the knees watching that!

To be honest, if it was a open elevator, id be frozen on my knees in it!

i'd feel much better if a helicopter took me up and we shot a grapple hook over to it.

every time i saw those rectangular things near the end, i kept thinking, oh! finally the top! damn. oh this has got to be the top now. oh. ok theres no way this isnt the top. oh.
