It is not even as if the idiot was attempting to climb the building. He caught the elevator up as far as he could, after he evaded security before climbing onto the roof, and was screwing around on the outside of the building before he ran out of talent on the 68th floor and was last seen by a maid desperately banging on a window to be let in before gravity did for him. What a total tool! All done for Internet bragging rights and money.Ex-Ascot wrote: ↑Mon Jul 31, 2023 5:56 amIt was only a matter of time before this guy did himself in.

What really amazes me are the admiring comments by the fools commenting on the Daily Mail... We really do live in a debased, stupid, society!
This guy's endeavour was about as far as you can ever get from the spirit of George Herbert Leigh Mallory!How shocking. Who could imagine this ever happening?
Interesting.
Would that be ‘Bovingdon’, ‘Lambourne’, ‘Ockham’ or ‘Biggin’

Family who went 'off the grid' in Colorado wilderness died of malnutrition, autopsy findsllondel wrote: ↑Thu Jul 27, 2023 5:40 pmhttps://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-66321392Three members of a Colorado family died while attempting to live "off the grid" in the Rocky Mountains, family members and investigators say.
The emaciated remains of sisters Christine and Rebecca Vance and the latter's 14-year old son, were found in a remote campsite this month.
On Tuesday a coroner ruled that they probably died from starvation or exposure during the cold winter.
It appears that the group began camping last summer and died over the winter.
