With the height of that crane he could always parachute down though

they dont have to walk all the way up to the operators cab, they get to ride an elevator up to the most recently finished (as finished as it need to be to allow people in it) floor and then walk the rest of the way, so the most he has to walk up is a couple of stories

I wonder what the "world record" for a tower crane's height is....

great pic find indeed,i'm not really a tower crane fan but there are a few superb pics there,
good question Thorleif
Why is "phonetically" spelt with a "ph"?
... It's better to be silent and thought a fool, then to speak up and remove all doubt
The complex of Newgrange was originally built between c. 3100 and 2900 BC,[2] meaning that it's aproximately 5,000 years old. According to Carbon-14 dates,[3] it is more than 500 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, and predates Stonehenge by about 1,000 years.

I wonder what the "world record" for a tower crane's height is.... that would probably have to be the tower crane building the Burj Dubai in Dubai.... the building is just under 2700ft tall when completed
