A couple of guys broke into a construction site in order to pull off this stunt.

Yes, DEATHLY afraid of heights, and that video made my stomach churn. Amazing video, but shame on them for promoting trespassing. Everyone has to die sometime, those guys seem like they want to advance the process. I did enjoy the comments though.... "surprised the weight of their balls didn't tip the crane over" LOL!

I'm not really afraid of heights, but I hate bridges.

I watched that video and it made my stomach churn! I'm terrified of heights! I'm a flight attendant but I never get the sensation of heights in a plane. As a passenger I always prefer a window seat as I love looking out the window. However, I can't stand being in glass elevators or going in skyscrapers or riding the ferris wheel, etc. LOL, I have a clock up on the living room wall and when I have to get on a chair to reach it to change the time when the clocks go forward/back I hate it!

OMGosh.. you are me! LOL! I almost became a flight attendant during college. I am so afraid of heights, yet love to fly. I love the window seat. I hate glass elevators, and ferris wheels... anywhere it feels like I can fall off. I was only okay with chair lifts because I started young and had no choice if I wanted to ski. I'm fine looking out of a window if there is a ledge, but I hate open balconies. Here comes the stupid part... I want to try sky diving. There is NO WAY you would have got me up on that building, I don't care if there was a suitcase with $1Billion in it... would never happen.

LOL! Yeah, they had some pretty big brass ones. The fog and clouds were cool... still would never get me up there.

The thing is, there are catwalks and handrails and landings. Other people go up there, too.

Yeah, I hope they get paid well for their jobs! LOL! When I first watched it, I thought those guys were climbing up there to base jump... but it seems they were just climbing it to climb it. Regardless, no way would I get up there. Cool to watch from someone else's vantage point, but I would have got dizzy and fallen off the building halfway up.

I am very afraid of heights. From reading the responses of those who have viewed the video, I think I'll pass.

Im not afraid of heights in an airplane or going over a bridge in a car but I wouldn't go up there in the open air no.
