I wonder if Ig can tell us what they're saying. (They sound Russian to me, anyway.)

They are not saying much, just climbing Shanghai tower using various safety ladders and then a tower crane jib. I heard them advising each other.

There are also Russian teenagers who like to ride trains on the roof.

Most of these trains are electric, powered by overhead wires.

No, suicide. They were trying to talk him out of it, to no avail.

That overhead wire is at 25 KV.

I'll bet that 0.732 seconds it took to totally dessicate him seemed to take _forever_ while he died.

I doubt he felt a thing - the electrical surge will have prevented any and all brain function.

The videos we have, like for the Golden Gate Bridge and Empire State Building, were great...and scary.

Imagine being a riveter inside a ship or the GGB tower. Talk about deafening!
