Those constructors have some big balls, you couldn't pay me to get on that thing.

They aren't paid much at all and really have no choice. Its basically slave labor from people in the surrounding countries. I saw some story on Dateline or 60 minutes a few years ago about all the construction there and how the labors are all foreign born workers. They get little pay, are provided a crappy place to live with the rest of the workers, basically camps, and there were some questions about forced labor.

Now I really won't go up there! A tower that tall built by someone who is either a slave or provided little pay and paltry means to exist. Sure, he doesn't hold any grudges. "So the man makes me drink water outta my toilet....I don't feel like screwing in these bolts tight today!"

This may be pretty morbid, but I wonder if anyone has ever jumped or fell off?

I wouldn't go up there without a parachute in the least bit

They said some guy in Chicago designed that thing though

I would do it. I rode the Stratosphere Insanity ride in Vegas... I felt like anything higher is just a couple more steps up for me after doing that.
