@stux when he starts clipping onto the bare metal posts, that when I'm outta there. Funny how the bulb replacement isn't that different from a fixture at home.

@stux My uncle was the chief electrician of the Empire State Building in the 70’s. They used to pay a retired tech 2 week’s salary to do that operation. You popped a hatch in the middle of the observation platform on floor 102 to get there. He popped it once and let me look out, when I was a tween. They had to change the carbon arc bulbs every couple months, I think?

@stux I love those sorts of videos. I do OK with relatively low heights - we live over 400 feet above the city. But go higher - or outdoors like I did on the CN tower (1,168 feet up) and it's pretty terrifying. The first time I leaned back off the edge my legs WOULD NOT let me even though I KNEW I was safe tied off with two cables.

@stux The more interesting question to me is who's fixing it. I know the answer. Those are steeple jacks. Here in Sacramento there's a whole family that does it and we've had to hire them to change the aircraft warning lights at the top of some very tall buildings' cooling towers or decorative metal spires. 🙂

@stux What scares me the most about watching people do these is that the point they are attaching their safety gear to is the same point they are putting their hand hold on, and there's not even a hook there, which makes me feel like if it breaks or they just slip off it in the wrong way they could fall.This is a job where the worker needs to be replaced by robots.
