We had a girl do that here in Toronto recently. It took a special team of trained firefighters several ours to go up, go to the end of the boom and down the cable to the 6 inch wide cable jib (terminolgy?).They then put her in a ling and lowered her down where she was arrested, had a mental health assessment and then went to jail. She is now facing trespassing charges as well as charges related to having to call the fire department and police out. She also is facing a civil suit from the contraction company for lost time and wages for the construction crew and is being billed for the police, security company and fire crew. Totals cost is estimated to be $200 to $300 thousand Dollars. All this because she was bored and wanted to see a thrill. She is likely going to get a sentence of two years less a day in jail.

I worked at Syncrude in 1986 and remember they had the largest lathe on the planet at that time (another lathe, it's brother was in Russia). Oh, and the highest I ever had to work at was Petrosar refinery in the late 70's and early 80's. I worked in utilities and had to issue permits during the shutdown in 79 or 80 (don't remember which) and I had to climb the (about) 356 ft to the top of the flare and conduct gas meter testing for LEL's, O2 etc. for entry into the flare stack for inspection and repairs. I think I still have a Syncrude jacket and a Petrosar work shirt. Also I remember working at Suncor the night of the massive Syncrude fluid coker fire in late 1984 (as I recall)

Thehoelogdog Logdog : To answer your question about butterflies, Not at all. From when I was a teen I've started my apprenticeship working on the 52 story Prudential Building in Boston.. Walking structural steel beams. while spacing out where I would place the Richmond hangers. Those day no one ever used safety belts, We never know they existed until the mid 1960's just before new safety laws was initiated by the Gov. Sadly I've seen many coworkers fall to their death. Worker blown off the steel by the wind while carrying a piece of plywood or laying down metal Q-Decking panels across the steel beams. For me this work was a rush, just the same as sky-diver enjoys the challenge. Watching this video made me wish I was still younger and could take this challenge again. Let me tell you this, I've never believed in a million years that I would survive this kind of work ( bridge Build ) etc., of all of my 39 year working coria. Retired at the end of 1999 in one piece. However: Welding is another health problem I wasn't prepared for. As a pipe fitter you know what I'm talking about. Thank for your reply. .

interesting to watch and get this view. I have previously hauled this type of crane and watched the dismantling from the ground

Jntterminx, you only need “40 foot square area.” (a square about 6 1/2 feet on each side) actually, that is what the guy said in the video, but the specifications I looked up say it sits on a 40 foot diameter concrete pad (which is an area of about 1256 square feet) still, that is an incredibly small footprint for such a massive and capable machine!

Jorgie Vencez, I don’t really know what you are trying to say, but I do know anything that “inhibits” pedophilia is a good thing! Anything, (including a bullet to the head, or castration of pedophiles, if neccessary, etc.) that allows a child to grow up innocent and prevents the torment of any child is a good thing!

Back in the 60's in the UK, I was on a team building a Picon tower crane 100 foot tower, 100 foot jib. No other cranes on site as it built itself. After the base was constructed, the jib was built [about 15 feet off the ground] then the tower was constructed using a small jib. Then the cable drum on the jib was used to haul itself up using a long wire cable. About 40 feet up the cable snapped and the jib dropped back down breaking its self in half. Luckily I was a it fleeter in foot those days, because where I was standing holding a rope to stop the jib from revolving, was a heap of concrete from the ballast weight box!

to put this in perspective for some people, at 11:05 he says it took 43 days to get close to the end. A typical dismantle job is like 2-5 days. 5 days and management gets mad
