      Sun Beam MImi we don’t know all THAT much about the ancients... I believe they had a lot of technologies and were actually quite intelligent and advanced in their own right. They didn’t have computers or combustion engines but their knowledge of forces and tools, and mechanical technologies I’m sure allowed them to build the pyramids. Though it would have still been painstakingly slow.
      Either that or it was aliens.

    I have always been scared of heights throughout my 67 years, but now over the past ten years I have started hill and ridge walking (like the CMD arête) where it is high and steep enough to frighten, but I have forced myself to come to terms with it to conquer my fear. I find one I am up there and occupied I am ok - as the say 'don't look down'. Nice to see Dubai from so high, my late wife and I spent much time there when we lived and worked in the Middle East (Qatar and later Kuwait). We would fly down for a days shopping and sometimes, like over Christmas and the New Year spent a week of two. The Dubai Metro Railway had just started being built when we first went in 2007. I still have all the gold and diamond jewellery that I bought Maureen in the Gold Souqs on those visits, even though she has been gone 5 years, wonderful happy memories.

      Windows come in many shapes and sizes. Stains come in many forms, from rain drops to bird shit. Squeegee blades need replacing, machines break down.
      You'd need a custom solution for every building. It won't be perfect, it'll still leave streaks and mess. You'll need RA techs to go over for maintenance anyways.
      It takes less than a week to train and certify a RA tech in the skills to clean any window of any size. They'll be more thorough and they don't need maintenance.
      Logistically it's just easier this way, and who knows how much those machines will cost to design and implement.

    Even though I know that the rope is 99.98% safe I still wouldnt be able to hang from the side like that or even repel. My brain wouldn't be able to comprehend such a thing. If someone forced me at gunpoint to do it I might do it but even then is be wailing like a babe all the way down. This as a job would be ridiculous. This is coming from a guy who's in the 82nd Airborne division and has jumped hundreds of times. Also Air Assault qualified but wouldnt do this.

      Michael Weston it's really not that bad when you've got into "chair" 6-8 times a day it's like anything else you get use to it

    The biggest thing that sucks with the wind this high up is what you squeegee off often blows up on what you just cleaned. Another is the heat/sun, you do not want warm water and you have to squeegee quick before it evaporates. Tallest I did was 30 stories, it is all the same once you get over 20 stories., I would do it again, just not there.

    It'd probably be cheaper (and obviously quicker) to just have a helicopter or something fly by and spray the windows firetruck style, lol.

      But If the helikopter crash into the building?And how can you take that thing to clean the building from like 30 meter.Cause the helicopter rotor is big and need space.So that is. Not so effective!💩

      +FatBox no it ain't lol, a handful of guys going up and down a building with soap water in buckets vs a helicopter (maintenance, gas, etc) flying up and down throwing water at the building and letting the water splash all the way down

      @2011blueman 8 років тому +25

      +FatBox So you didn't watch the video and see the wind vortexes that form on the backside of the building? Flying close enough to spray water would be a guaranteed catastrophic disaster.
