the toughest job is a politician, all that lying and money grabbing is so bad for the brain and the back lets not forget the fact not going to work everyday or sleep at work is mentally challenging
I’ve been doing this 8 years now. Best job I ever had. Keeps you fit, doesn’t feel like work and if you get bored just look down! We’re cool with people looking down, we say never look up. Because you’ll see a mistake that is invariably made whilst cleaning windows stacked up over 600feet high. Good to see hammond gave it a crack. Believe it or not I’ve never seen anyone freeze up or panic and I’ve worked with over a hundred people in it now. Could be lucky
Just going to say, visiting Dubai, more specifically the burj khalifa, is definitely one of those bucket list entries, just the fact that you can say “I’ve been inside the worlds tallest building” is an amazing brag, not just that the view from the highest the general public can go, makes all the other skyscrapers you see in Dubai, becomes dwarfs by comparison, it’s truly amazing
@@illuminosis6823 I am VERY sure, that is NOT the intention he's getting at here. XP Sure, 9/11 was a terrible moment in human history, but much like with WW2, eventually it will be made fun of. Some people just seem to like to start much earlier than others would like.

Well, he hadn’t received any instruction on how to use a squeegee, which makes the job tougher and longer when you ARE actually required to do the job (properly), but he gets my full respect. You can lose your life falling 2 stories, really. And the tallest buildings are no more dangerous. I’ve never been higher than a mere 23 flights. But what impresses me about this fellow isn’t the height of this building. It’s that he had no time to gradually acquaint himself with the high-rise surroundings when he did this, and on an edifice that majestic. And that DOES make all the difference in the world, having time to familiarise yourself with this work environment. I didn’t have to go over the edge until I’d been on the roofs aloft wee 6 storey buildings for well over 6 months. By then, I was begging to go over. Coz I was around such a supportive group of caring gentlemen. We had one girl on our team. She was fearless. 5 foot 1 in stilettos. You see a chick do this, Sonny, you face your nerves pronto. This is NOT a man’s job. It’s a job for level heads. And broads rock the bloody casbah, I’m here to say. Anyone can do this work. Coz fearless people aren’t born, they’re made. But I’m perfectly content with small jobs! I got enough grey hair, thank you.
Good effort Richard, after 20 years of Industrial rope access in the oil and gas industry I would have loved to have done this, if only to have it on my C.V.
They are using the Rope access or industrial climbing is a form of work positioning, initially developed from techniques used in climbing and caving, which applies practical ropework to allow workers to access difficult-to-reach locations without the use of scaffolding, cradles or an aerial work platform. Rope access technicians descend, ascend, and traverse ropes for access and work while suspended by their harness. Sometimes a work seat may be used. The support of the rope is intended to eliminate the likelihood of a fall altogether, but a back-up fall arrest system is used in case of the unlikely failure of the primary means of support. This redundancy system is usually achieved by using two ropes - a working line and a safety line.
@@jupitervolcano A couple years ago I had occasion to remove something from the roof of house. I didn't even have the nerve to get off the ladder. My brave wife then climbed the ladder and onto thevroof!
i cant imagine the heat they are experiencing cleaning those windows. having lived in dubai for so long summers are all about making sure i stay inside the ac only
I don't have a fear of heights but daaaaamn this is something else alright. Been up there but on the observation deck and behind the glass, not out in front of it.
If I was a window cleaner I wouldn’t do my job I would just watch people and enjoy the fact that this might be the closest to repelling down a building in the UKSF that I will ever get minus the UKSF part
rsx123 ah. I didn’t know that, thanks man. I liked top gear but wasn’t a religious viewer so didn’t really know much about them. Thanks for the info though 👍🏼
i did this joba few years ago. not on the burj khalifa but here in vienna austria. i didn´t do the cleaning but maintenance. it´s a fun job but very underpayed here. and yes it takes a bit of balls to swing over the edge of a high building and trust in your rope and equipment.
The Burj Khalifa is an incredible spectacle and well worth a visit. The 'mall" inside was surprisingly empty and most of the "shops" usually just had two or three 'not from here's ' in nice suits or skirt/blouse combinations . . . .most of the women were Russian or Polish and all extraordinarily gorgeous, even the two platinum blondes spruiking the lifts were stunning and really nice in a pushy "dont think , just pull out your wallett and buy what im offering" way and it was usually an attempt to go to the top for an extra 80 bucks . . . . .i went halfway and thoroughly enjoyed the experience: its a HELL of a view but the wifi was shit. All in all, a enjoyable experienced that was ruined by incompetent shuttle bus companies, brain dead taxi drivers and shifty lying tour guides who are very much directing you to THAT shop because oh look, its cousy bro Abdullah who just happens to have a sale on.

Lmao made my day thanks
could be worse, could be an orangutan

One of the toughest jobs in the world

but somehow it is more luxurious than those who are digging bird poo for fertilizer in Peru.
Not the toughest job in the world I've been a abseiling window cleaner for 18 years it's easy

i could never man i shit myself gettin on the roofs let alone that high
Don't be fooled, while the building might look impressive, Hammond is so small that the windows they are cleaning are in fact on a bungalow.

HAMMOND!
Good thing he's got a helmet on

The helmet is conveniently shaped to contain his liquid remains if he fell.
Helmet isnt for a fall , its for drops & swings 😭
I would have prefered a parachute instead if i was in his position.
@panfriedd oh yes he will survive falling from that height
Hammond looks like a really low/short budget version of Tony Stark
Lol, yeah he does!
He's the realest thing to Tony stark
Scrap Industries lmfaooo what on earth? 😂😂
But both are the nearly the same height
Hahaha💀💀💀

That, is amazing. I've never heard this job put in such a positive light, but it actually makes a lot of sense if you think about it.
I’ve been with a few people who got paralyzed and couldn’t continue. A small percentage though.

@LordGroyper You physically can't not.

I know this comment is sarcastic but helmets are must in such job to protect them mainly from falling objects.
James May needs to try this!
He would have a heart attack
My guess is James would rather massage jeremy’s sausage rather than cleaning those windows
Shit I would want clarkson to try it haha. Or is there a weight limit 🤣😂
He would faint 😵💫😵😑
“It’s harder than it looks”
Nooooo, it looks as hard as it actually is.
UA-cam: Did you click here because we recommend this to you?

When your life is literally on the ropes.
Exactly the ropes hang onto something too so if the ropes don’t fail and the anchor fails your fucked
First thought, "Is The Hamster going to roll that building in a ditch ??!?"
I love this series, and I think Hammond gets better and better with time.

He’s not scared of heights. I can’t even stand on 6 story tall scaffolding without trembling. He’s all up there dangling from the burj Khalifa lol

Best thing to do when facing fears or when your nervous is exactly what he does here , talk
Talk and talk again non stop to distract you from the hell your going through😂😂
Girl: So what's your job ?
You know, just cleaning around
Girl: Excuse me ?!
Well done Hamster, afraid but strong minded. Brave man! 🍻
Wow massive respect for those workers
They need our respect, because their employers does not have any respect for them.

Why is the muppet even attempting this when he is terrified of heights, just sit at home and enjoy reading a book in peace.
