Would you want this job?

Probably not if you suffer from vertigo!

I`m reminded of the famous film of those construction workers in the 1950s(?) working atop the unfinished World Trade centre, and actually eating sandwiches and drinking from flasks a fmile high!

And not to be negative or anything, sure he may have his safety harness and all on but if it breaks?

If he falls and he slams into the side of the building how long does it take rescue personal to reach him.

NO THANK YOU

I have vertigo and am deathly afraid of heights. You gotta admire people like that - I hope he had his safety rope on.

I can't even look at the picture, I could never do that ever. I couldn't even walk to the edge of the GRAND CANYON, just freaked me out, but I eventually go to the edge and it was AWESOME..
