Seen that a few days ago, and found it hard to watch. Amazing to have a 50 odd mile view to the horizon!

If someone pointed a gun at me and said they would shoot me if I didn't climb up there, I would tell them to pull the trigger!

Some height that!.. often watch Sean Riley and his World's Toughest Fixes - (looks a pratt, but a really nice chap and a great personality) anyone see the episode 'Sean Riley works to fix a faulty TV antenna nearly half a mile in the air.' - that was awesome!

to fix a faulty TV antenna nearly half a mile in the air.

A long whiley ago I knew a manny that was sent out to fix various bits n' pieces up these masts, usually it was at night when it was blowing a hoolie with rain and hail coming sideways.
Apparently they were not very keen on switching the TV transmitters off so at least he was kept warm up there.

Mebbe thats why the second guy had his face blurred so his wife and kids dont find out.
