Daily Mail -The famous original had 11 workers in flat caps precariously perched on a steel beam 800ft above the ground. But in 2011, these construction engineers in London swapped vests for high visibility jackets and safety harnesses as they ate out on a 755ft tall building. The photo- modeled after Charles C Ebbets famous 1932 original 'Lunch atop a skyscraper' - was taken by Michael Crompton as he worked on the Heron Tower in central London last year...The original was taken in New York on the 69th floor of the RCA building as it neared completion.."
Never really considered myself to be afraid of heights, at least not like my father who I've seen sweat profusely when he gets on the ladder to get papaya's from the tree in our backyard. Thing is only like 8 feet off the ground. But seeing the old picture of the dudes with no harnesses, including one guy drinking whisky??? Fuck.That.Shit. I'm nauseous just looking at these guys, harness or no harness
