Some amazing flying

This is just amazing flying. One small misjudgment and the two guys in the tower would be strawberry jam.

Hat tip to The Silicon Graybeard who fills in the details:

Making Tough Work Look Easy
In Lyon, France, a new high rise office building called Incity Tower is being completed. Like most tall buildings, it's capped with a large tower which, again like most, appears to be topped by cellular service antennas. The tower is 50 meters (164 feet) tall on top of a 150 meter (492') tall building and the resulting 200 meter (656') tall building has the highest tower in Lyon and the third highest in France. The tower weighs 25.9 tonnes, which raises the question of how one puts 25.9 tonnes of metal on roof that's 492' tall?

This is amazing. Note the two guys sticking out of the base section of tower that's being worked on. A mistake with the alignment of that upper section being put in place while exposed would cut them in half. Consider that the enormous weight is a pendulum, but since the helicopter isn't fixed to anything, both the helicopter and the tower section are swinging around a common center of rotation.

It's a job that would make most people wet themselves. Most people wouldn't have the nerve to climb the ladder inside the lower sections. (Don't look at me. I'm a desk jockey; I include myself.)

But this is what it takes to bring the constant connectivity everyone has grown to expect.

So true - hats off to these incredible people who work behind the scenes making our lives that much easier.
