This is what having no common sense looks like. Even if they have to do it this way, you tie a line to a building next to them.

That wall did not look very sturdy.

Yea, I didn't see any steel in that wall he was knocking down. I think it was just a façade, but still, standing on it is pretty crazy. There's another guy in the background doing the same thing. I'm guessing by the attire, this was in the middle easy somewhere, so laborers are likely treated as disposable.

Pakistan ... I think. His shoes are common there.

At one point, he seems to bend away a reinforcing bar/wire to his left, so am not sure if there was some support there.

If it is in Pakistan, walls there are made of concrete cinderblocks, so "sledgeable" one block at a time to dislodge.

Still crazy to be that high up doing this! :ohno:

Lol @ "middle easy"

You know, from what I saw in my short time there (working on a construction project), they offer large bonuses to get things done on time and also post safety reminders everywhere. Hell, they had the body of a construction worker on display at our project who didn't wear his helmet. And at the same time I was seeing guys welding using sunglasses and clad in flip-flops and sweatpants...

It's a weird mix.

LOL! I didn't notice that! That's crazy to weld like that. I feel like a jackass for welding in a long-sleeve cotton shirt, jean, and sneakers. I couldn't imagine sunglasses and flip-flops!
