      We had a girl do that here in Toronto recently. It took a special team of trained firefighters several ours to go up, go to the end of the boom and down the cable to the 6 inch wide cable jib (terminolgy?).They then put her in a ling and lowered her down where she was arrested, had a mental health assessment and then went to jail. She is now facing trespassing charges as well as charges related to having to call the fire department and police out. She also is facing a civil suit from the contraction company for lost time and wages for the construction crew and is being billed for the police, security company and fire crew. Totals cost is estimated to be $200 to $300 thousand Dollars. All this because she was bored and wanted to see a thrill. She is likely going to get a sentence of two years less a day in jail.

    I worked at Syncrude in 1986 and remember they had the largest lathe on the planet at that time (another lathe, it's brother was in Russia). Oh, and the highest I ever had to work at was Petrosar refinery in the late 70's and early 80's. I worked in utilities and had to issue permits during the shutdown in 79 or 80 (don't remember which) and I had to climb the (about) 356 ft to the top of the flare and conduct gas meter testing for LEL's, O2 etc. for entry into the flare stack for inspection and repairs. I think I still have a Syncrude jacket and a Petrosar work shirt. Also I remember working at Suncor the night of the massive Syncrude fluid coker fire in late 1984 (as I recall)

    to put this in perspective for some people, at 11:05 he says it took 43 days to get close to the end. A typical dismantle job is like 2-5 days. 5 days and management gets mad

      Jntterminx,
      you only need “40 foot square area.” (a square about 6 1/2 feet on each side)
      actually, that is what the guy said in the video, but the specifications I looked up say it sits on a 40 foot diameter concrete pad (which is an area of about 1256 square feet)
      still, that is an incredibly small footprint for such a massive and capable machine!
