[TowerTalk] Steady Hand On The Stick Wow!!!!!

[Ken]

The guys on that video were at least somewhat protected inside the tube.

Some years back, they erected a 964' lattice type tower in sections 
using a Sikorsky Sky Crane in Cincinnati.

Our offices were about a half mile away and at times we could watch the 
contruction.  I cannot imagine being up on that partially built tower 
depending on a helicopter to hold it steady while they bolted the 
sections together!  One little shift in the wind.....
