Crazy bastards and the tale of 175 feet

This thread is a photo-story of some insanity I witnessed in NYC.

Notice how high up the red scafold elevator is. By counting the number of floors - we're looking at about 15 floors high (about 175 feet up).

Here is a zoomed-in photo of the area next to the red scafold elevator. Notice the two scafold workers.

Further zoomed-in with photo software - these two crazy bastards are just sitting on the scafold, 175 feet up!

No platforms, no nets, no sanity.

I have a great b/w print of "Lunch @ the Rockefeller Center" in the same style. Crazy bastards indeed.

I'd not seen such antics in real life however, so I figured I'd document and share.

Those prints are crazy indeed. And yes, seeing it in real life would be mind boggling.

Those gentlemen have the biggest balls in history

Changing the bulb at the top of the Empire State Building. What's funny is that the cameraman was even higher than these guys, and he was HANGING over them to capture the shot.

i heard Mohawks and natives are the most in demand for jobs that high... they're naturally good in keeping balance, genetics I guess.
