LIVE Stream: Man Attempts to Climb Trump Tower in NYC

in #news8 years ago (edited)

Wow, you got to have some guts to just climb the Trump Tower (58-story building) in New York by just using 5 suction cups.

For almost 2 hours he managed to stay out of the hands of the authorities. The authorities tried to catch him in many ways by removing windows, air ducts and by using laders and the cleaner cabin.

After almost 1 hour and +/- 45 minutes there was just no way he could continue his journey, he was boxed in! The authorities removed several windows around him and boxed him in by using the cleaner cabin. He was then "brutally grabbed". Since he again refused to come in freely after several times interacting in the past hours. You can watch the whole thing back here after it was streamed live for almost 2 hours.

Since The Trump Tower is the headquarter and home of the Republican presidential nominee's Donald Trump, I'm very curious about the intentions of the Man that climbed the Trump Tower. What was his endgoal? and What did he hope to achieve by doing this?

Sort:  

I was watching it on facebook live and the reported said his name was "Steve". I've coined him as "Suction Steve", the name seemed to take off like wildfire.

Lol, What about Gecko Steve!

End goal? I don't know, but he now has his 15 minutes of fame. I guess.

Yeah, I forgot what people would do for even 1 second of fame... Tho this is showing some Balls!

I bet this man is from Russia. At least he proved bravery while getting famous too :D
Probs for him

Well if you ever want to try it yourself here is a site that is selling some powerfull suction cups:

no no thanks I'm too afraid to fall and die... (^^)

Why would anyone do this? lol this is hilarious and so stupid!

Crazy man, but respect for him!!!

This is so bizarre. Got pretty far tho lol

Yeah, I was too lazy to count the floors but I quite want to know how far he got in +/- 2H. So we can calculate how long it would have taken with his speed to climb to the top of the tower.
