We spent a few days in New York City. This city is full of huge, tall
buildings. These things are really high. How, you might ask, do they
build them so high?
Well, here's a picture of one of thebuildingsbeing built. The bottom
is mostly finished and they are still building the top part. The
inside steel structure is in place and there is a crane beside the
building lifting parts up to finish the top part. At the middle of the
crane is the place where the crane operator works. He has to climb up
there and sit in the cab to run the crane. He's like hundreds of feet
up in the air running amachine to lift stuff from the ground up to
hundreds of feet over his head. Man, I'll bet he has a good view up
there. He's right beside the Hudson River overlooking the harbor. But
I hope he has a radio to listen to. No one is going to climb up there
to talk to him. It's too far!
