These are the unsung Heroes of Broadcasting and ill bet they don,t get the big money the so called stars of radio and television get ,These are the real heroes .

I have nothing but 100% respect for people that perform jobs of this nature. I worked in a chemical plant and have been 200 feet on distillation columns so I have a rough idea of what they do.

I knew a guy who ran an installation crew. When he was in Africa doing a job, Orangutangs would come out of the jungle to see what was going on. Eventually they climbed on the tower and hung out with the crew, just hanging by their arms, swinging and swaying at 1000 feet up. No fear. He said, "I wanted to give them wrenches and get them to work, they were naturals."

I'm going to get a full body harness to wear while I watch vids like this
-
Just before they head down after finishing they get an "Oh, wait a second. While you're up there can you change the light bulb?"
-
I imagine the guys really good at working from these heights don't brag about it much. Thanks for posting. Awesome video.
-
I used to do this, things are alot easier doing work down from the top of the tower once there's a gin pole involved its a whole lot more work and alot more dangerous mad respect for these guys
-
I've got the exact pair of blue handled grips in my toolbag , but the highest they have ever been or ever likely to go is 25 feet ,,, I feel proud of myself for just watching the whole video ,,jeez these guys are really something ,,they have my full admiration,,

I worked in construction for many years. Whenever we saw the "Iron Workers" come onto to the site and do what they do, we were always amazed and in awe of their Fearlessness. These guys are more fearless!
-
I'm a crane operator, I don't mind heights, as long as I'm looking UP at them. Those guys are CRAZY!
-
Mad respect, i hate to do this kind of metal&metal bolts,heavy weights works on the ground, cant imagine the patience to do it in a way like that above the clouds, no time for a coffee and very limited space to lay of your tools and confined by safetly lines etc. Stay safe and thanks for the work.

BULLMOOSE PRODUCTIONS...That is freaking awesome! Love the tribute to the Bullmoose himself, Teddy Roosevelt! 🇺🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸
-
The people who do this work ( TV broadcast towers) are a exclusive club.
-
I gotta give huge credit to these guys. I’ll fly open cockpit biplanes and things like that no problem, but this. I don’t think I could do what these guys do.
-
Rigging the gin pole always amazed me. Years back we'd ride the tugger basket, it was air operated, had a friction brake the tugger operator controlled so you talked real nice to him unless you had new kid in the basket you wanted to scare the piss out of.
-
It’s Blue Collar Workers like these guys that Make 🇺🇸 Great…. Kudos 👍👍 to the 4 in the Air and their support guy on the ground…👍👍
-
It's amazing these towers can hold so much and carry these guys on that also. Prolly cause the only thing they carry is a lack of fear. Yall rock.
-
No...not even once..utmost respect to all who do this.
-
You feel like you are up there with them and my fear of heights make my palms sweat.
-
So cool to have the basket travel up a guy wire like that - saves the guys climbing so much!
