I don't even climb on 14' ladders... Climbing a cell tower would probably give me a stroke!

No way. The rotor wash would blow those men right off the tower.

Just how far away do you think they were to get a shot so well composed as that? On a moving platform no less? Was the photographer leaning out the side of the chopper or did the pilot hover on the tail rotor while the photographer set up his shot?

That show was taken from the tower. I have absolutely no doubt.

No way, that is shot by a guy strapped to the (probable Alan-Dick panel) antenna just like the two guys doing the work.

Re: It may be dangerous

that looks like either one of the VHF TV or FM antennas on empire state...

The photo was taken by another climber, it was in some periodical a while back with the citation.
