Look what...

RobertaX does for a living.





Oh HELL no.

"If a storm comes, there is no quick way down."

Well I, for one, can think of a very fast way down. It's because of this very thought that watching this video makes my upper-thigh/lower-abdomen feel really funny.

Film blocked because of some copyright thing according to Youtube, but I get the point. Of course, the Claustrophobes can never understand why some us loved to be crammed into a Steel tube for 3 months with a 150 Guys and go dive underwater the whole time.... But the Abrams guys probably get it.

Oh...

"The footage of the climb came from a friend of mine that does this type of work, I have know him for several years and he has helped me many times in the past. Recently he gave me this video he shot on one of his jobs. I showed him the edited video and he approved it and I put it up on TheOnLineEngineer.Org and You Tube over the weekend. On Monday he was getting calls from colleagues telling him that they were concerned about what the video showed. His world is a very small one, and you don’t want to bite the hand that feeds you! Some facility owners are pretty uptight about liability and such and may not hire him if they think he does not take safety seriously."
