I would probably feel safer on a 300' man lift than a 36' aluminum ladder.

They use those 300' man lifts around here all the time to do wind turbine work. They scare the crap out of me. I never been up on one. I would rather climb a tower.On Mon, Oct 28, 2019 at 11:58 AM Mathew Howard <[email protected]> wrote:oh... yeah, probably 50 years from now when they're tearing it down...

Also not good when they report that it is “being treated as a rescue”, i.e. probably recovery but we’re not giving up hope.

Seriously? Between being suspended by his pants and upside down, plus the temperature, it’s hard to believe the guy is even still alive. It seems they have given up on the helicopter and are bringing in a crane. More on the smokestack, which is not exactly new: Dixon’s Chimney was built for the adjoining Shaddon Mill in 1836 by Peter Dixon and architect Richard Tattersall. The Grade II*-listed landmark was originally more than 320 feet tall – making it the largest chimney in the country at the time it was built, according to Historic England. However about 30 feet had to be taken off the top for safety reasons after it was damaged by lightning in 1931. *From:* AF < <[email protected]>[email protected]> *On Behalf Of *Steve Jones *Sent:* Monday, October 28, 2019 11:04 AM *To:* AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <[email protected]> *Subject:* Re: [AFMUG] man stuck on top of 290 ft smokestack i would not want to be under him cause i assume he is raining poop on people.
