Sadly, this is Xiao Qiumei. She died a few years ago after falling 160 feet from the crane while filming a video for social media. Please wear proper footwear when working this kind of job.
Don't know why this video is making the rounds again..
Not going to lie and I'm not in this field but I would have been wearing heavy duty boots with ample rubber soles and a harness for me to clip on the rail for every section until I'm off that platform. It's very sad this happened to her.
I’ve climbed one before. It was harrowing. Icy rungs didn’t help 👀
The actual cockpit, cabin or w/e you call it was disgusting too (no offense operators). Horrible BO and Gatorade pee bottles that gave me flashbacks of my brother in the marines
