(29,253 posts)I was staying at the Bonaventure Hotel in downtown LA... somewhere around 70 floors up.
They were building the Crocker National Bank building next door (across a street) and they had these iron workers (I think from a tribe of Navajos that specialize in working high rise buildings). These guys were running around like this video... and I was in my hotel room watching them do this about 40 yards away... 70 stories up. And the Bonaventure had these floor to ceiling glass walls.
I took to closing the drapes completely and trying not to look at these guys.

While watching that, my testicles got sucked up in my body and are currently residing in my lungs.

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
