Yeh, not half and it must be some hike up for the operator of the tower crane in the second last pic!.

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

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

That is still a serious height of a tower crane though!. I wonder what the "world record" for a tower crane's height is....Think

that would probably have to be the tower crane building the Burj Dubai in Dubai.... the building is just under 2700ft tall when completed
