Dang, I think I'd want a parachute on as a backup... And shouldn't they be putting some washers on too?

Probably not many people gonna go inspect it.

Does a turd completely dissipate when you shake it out of your pants leg from that high up?

Stubby thing, maybe 300’ in the air I’d guess.

@1911gobang what u think?

Chopper is definitely faster than rigging a hoist and ginpole when it’s top mounted. We hung a 2100 pounder side mounted for Ion TV this past summer. The tower IS the boom in that situation. Cool video!

All hands to secure it first, two bolts to each side. The other bolts have the extras, then redo the first bolts.

That whole party would be a nope from me.

NOPE, NOPE TO THE 100th DEGREE plus 1000 .........

And then one guy realises he set his phone down inside the cavity......

Looks like a good time to me.

My first thought was FINGERS!!!

That looks like an exciting job. I'd be all in for that kind of work if I wasn't so damn old.
