ABOVE THE CLOUDS 03 29 2019 ANTENNA CHANGE OUT
Просмотров 3,1 млн5 лет назад
Fearless Crews work above the clouds to remove and replace a television transmitting antenna in Florida. We put you on top of a 1500 foot broadcast tower for a breathtaking perspective on one of the riskiest jobs in the world.
Желаю Вам, что бы количество подъемов равнялось количеству спусков
The direction of the antenna is rotated, this is a mistake at the beginning of the first installation or something else. It would be strange if there was an error in the direction of the antenna and it was corrected later
Yeah....no.
Why don't people in this job use a parachute for emergencies? There is always a possibility of falling!
Because if you fall off the tower it won't have enough room to open and there's way too many opportunities for it to open accidentally, which could be catastrophic in a thousand different ways. Other than that, these guys aren't sitting in an airplane seat and then jumping out into open air, wearing their chutes for about 20 minutes maybe once a month. They're going to be wearing it for 10-12 hours a day/6 days per week in an environment that's full of cramped spaces, sharp corners and edges, rain, dirt and chemical residues (diesel fuel). They would have to be constantly inspected, maintained and replaced and the cost would be outrageous for something that's infinitely more likely to get someone killed than it is to work if you need it to.
Tower looks galvanized not stainless steel
К чёрту феминизм) Есть кто есче по уровню сравниться с ними? 🤔. Так и знал одни комментаторы)координатор 👍
...My next question... Who the hell is the helicopter dude?? How did he learn this detailed work?? INCREDIBLE STABILITY! I'm pretty sure this is my new binge watching channel now...
Question...sSSSSsss... Who are these guys? How did they start out? How can they be so young ( early 20s??) and be so adept at this very precise work? How much do these guys get payed?¿ because it's not enough - And how do you think this shit up??!
One day before I die, I want to find their schedule, sit in my lawn chair with a bag of Cheetos and pop and a pair of high powered binoculars and maybe a telescope and watch these crazy nut jobs do what appears to be natural to them... WHO ARE THESE GUYS!!?? ...and a good cigar
What caused the main load line to release prematurely please??
What was the weight of the part they rotated? This job looked pretty sketchy, but I guess they followed a precise procedure to make it happen :D It was a very well performed teamwork
8 tons.
Everybody on that job earned their pay and honestly when that job was done, Id rather hook onto that Skycranes line and get a trip back to the ground
share a link with all the women who say we don't men
your not paid enough OMG!!
Look at the danger that greed, power, and control create!
Я только что смотрел видео, где парееь взбирался на 1999 футов, так как я сердечник, я просто сидел и волнение сильное было аж сердце начало болеть🥶
I gotta give huge credit to these guys. I’ll fly open cockpit biplanes and things like that no problem, but this. I don’t think I could do what these guys do.
What are the black tubes that run down the center of the tower?
Transmission lines - routing for the signal the antenna is broadcasting.
Transmission lines for feeding the signal (Radio Frequency energy) from the transmitter in the building to the antenna. Think of them as signal pipes.
@@The_DuMont_Network thank you 😊
Those guys are nuts!!🥜
Great job, great coordinating

NOOO THX!! I'll watch from below!
Respect to the workers, its a fucking dangerous job, only for absolute professenioals.....
No way I would trust any of that back woods rigging.
At that height, the horizon is 76 miles away !😮
I know nothing so take it easy on me please... Why are those sections so small? Other tower building videos install much larger sections of the antenna per heli lift. Why can't you pre fabricate multiple sections on the ground and lift them up say 3 or so at a time?
That's just a base for the antenna. Some of them have a short section like that so they can do exactly what they're doing here.
Wow!
That’s one heck of a beautiful, flat earth. Nice and stationary with zero curvature . Nice work
slow bolts,poor helo driver!
Love it
🥳,, 😱🥵😓😨🫣😭😭😭🥺😫,,🫣🤭🫠🤫😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰😘😚🥹😅😂😂😱😱😱😖🥳😭
I'm a paragliding pilot, I'm fairly OK with heights, but I would never in a million years do your job😆 much respect!
I was a rigger in UK for 16 years working on all networks and nobody was allowed to climb without a proper climbing helmet. You slack arsed yanks would be turfed off site straightaway!
Depends on the regulations governing the work being done and the locale. We wouldn't work there anyway, because likely Luas Electric had a hand in the construction, and we wouldn't want any of your weak assed tea.
Smoke a bowl of Bruce Banner and watch the video 🤒
I been 100 feet on a pole with the old school safety with no fall protection, but that was high enough, I'm good.
must be a right bitch of a job when there's any kind of weather other than fine sunny and calm imagine it being cold frozen with ice and snow or at night up north an waiting on the weather to break nice and calm
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Excellent FE proof video. 😉
When I was young I did that in the days when you had to thread the needle by crawling up the side. Old now.... don't miss it.
Looks like fun.
Nope. We go ballooning every summer, so going up to 3000+ feet is routine, but I always felt safe as can be. The only uneasiness is during descent. But this? Just no way.
That belch at 8:30 tho, bet it was heard five miles away !
Can the parachute off of the tower, when done, to get back down?
That is unacceptable, that the load line released. Somebody did something wrong, and they should be fired!
A friend and I both worked for separate tower companies, his had shirts with the slogan "I get high on the job"... one of the coolest high steel shirts I've seen.
I just don't know how...anything .
Handsome Dalmatian!
I get the willies watching tower people work on these things.
У меня лёжа на диване и то голова закружилась😂

I once climbed a ladder to paint my bird house. Yup, I guess us guys are just a bunch of high altitude daredevils!
