Seen that a few days ago, and found it hard to watch. Amazing to have a 50 odd mile view to the horizon!
Incredible, love how calm the guy is who commentates.

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.
