    I’m surprised the building could hold up those giant balls of steel

    the way i would trip, break my neck on the beam, and then hurtle to the earth only to land like Yamcha.

    I mean it has to be windy up there. Just one slight gust of wind and he's dead. There's bravery and then there's complete disregard for one's life.

    Honestly I don’t know how these people did this! That’s so crazy. I remember hearing that there were a lot of Native Americans hired to do this kind of work because many of them didn’t have a fear of heights. I know that a lot of people died building the Verrazano bridge and many were Native Americans. There’s also a famous picture from back in the 1930s I believe of workers having lunch sitting on one of the beams building one of the sky scrapers in NYC. Crazy.

    I worked construction in the 80s. It was terrifying. And I was only 4 stories up max.

    Very few workers today would even be physically able to do this.
