1. OMFG!

My first words (if I ever got back on the ground again) would be...

I NEED A FUCKING PAY RAISE!

I'm thinking that has to be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.

2. And the guy free climbs most of the tower

With clearly no saftey. The slightest thing can go wrong and there's no safe way down.

4. Saw this a few months ago... CRINGE.

There a very few things I just can't watch. This is one of them.

7. Amazing video, but I have to disagree with the narrator's comment that...

"...there's no quick way down."

I beg to differ.

9. I applied for a job like that when I was about 20. Had an interview.

The interviewer then said Are you married? We don't like to hire married people. In case, y'know ...

I kinda lost interest then: I figured the company was looking for expendable folk
