Holy Mother Of God! How tall is that building going to be when it's finished?

My bowels would turn to water if I found myself up there

Guess it was the security guys morning off?? Must have taken them hours to get that high, unless they were familiar with the route?

Those are just back-packs. They think parachuting defeats the purpose of doing it - they're nuts. Remember, they spent the night on top of this building- the back-packs are filled with supplies and camera equipment.

I read on the guy's blog that it was the Chinese New Year when they did this (national holiday), so most people there had the day off including construction and security.

Check out this Hi-Rez pic of one of them.

Probably the only time they'd be able to do it, they were really lucky with the weather, that low cloud cover gives everything a surreal quality, great photography as well.

With that type of cloud, I would imagine there to be very little wind, but on another day it could have been a very different story.

So - these crazy russians are at it again.


I think after watching this one, there's no debate - they don't wear 'chutes or safety lines, and they're fit for straight-jackets
