You *have* to watch this. 2 guys climb the incomplete 2nd tallest building in the work, and one of them actually stands on the top of the crane on the top of the building.

Totally insane. I crashed a hang glider on a golf course in Letterkenny once. Ouch. Came to, with my friend laughing their asses off.

But at that height? The climb is probably the worst part!

Ouch ouch! Played on Aran Mor (off Killibegs) with no "earth" or an earth that was mildly connected to . . . live?  . . . guitar players all got shocked,  drummer got half fried, so I cut the earths on all the plug boards . . . sorted. Never figured it out.

Probably an unconnected earth . . . the amplifiers at the time required some high voltage current to drain to the chassis . . . aka earth. Which is why the poor drummer nearly got fried when he reached for the mike.

And we had to carry all the gear for a half mile . . . . er. about 1 K ?
