That's pretty interesting.  It must look so insane in person.  Just being on the train looks a lot higher than that, so standing on it must be incredible.

I wish that guy would have held this camera straight. It makes me nausea from all his jolting.

I'm assuming it was probaby a digital still camera in video mode.  They are very difficult to hold steady yet alone at those hieghts and in the wind lol

Iron worker or one of the many other people  involved in building KK.

Now that I watched the video again, The guy in the video  looks like one of the maintenance workers  I have seen before.

Yeah, it's during Pre-Morning checks for sure. It wasn't during construction because Toro is already built/being built.

I hope those guys get paid very well. Me on the other hand, i'll do it for free. All i'll need is a safety harness, my digi-cam and my video cam.
