Terrifying Footage of Someone Hanging From a Construction Crane by One Hand

Plenty of Angelenos do dangerous and stupid stuff at stomach-churning heights. The difference between them and this urban climber is they're Hollywood stunt people earning a paycheck, whereas the dude you see here is apparently risking his life for a grainy Internet video.

But hey, thanks kid, because now we know what L.A.'s lovely night skyline looks like to somebody dangling by one arm from a construction crane. The buildering enthusiast behind this intense exploit, which I'm pretty sure would not be attempted by a brain-damaged chimp, is the UK's James Kingston, who uploaded this footage on Thursday. Check out the oddly shaped metallic building on the left at 1:30 –it's the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall, on South Grand Avenue.
