Yikes. Newman was just showing me a pic of some guy with his leg broken. Didn’t look like the same guy though.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - A Buffalo man and a Rochester man are facing charges after climbing up WIVB’s broadcast tower. It appears the men were attempting to thrill jump off the tower. Police say the men, ages 32 and 27, were wearing parachutes.
Police say the men made it half way up the tower when police arrived on the scene. The men came back down and were immediately placed in police custody. In the included photos you can see police take the two men into custody.
At least one of the men was wearing a device on his helmet that appeared to be a camera.
The men are charged with criminal trespassing and conspiracy.

That’s not Skydiving. :lol:
LOL, this randomly made me wonder how many nyspeeders have gone to jail
Curious what your plan was (probably can’t talk about it until this is sorted with courts) because I’m pretty sure the RF signal near the top would have cooked you unless you had some inside info that the tower would be powered down for maintenance.
.
lolllll
This is what I was talking about with the whole “cook you” thing.

The comments being generated on WIVB’s facebook page about this are hilarious!!!
Nicki Riggio says: “Wtf is wrong with people? Dipshits…I mean seriously who does that? You just wake up in the morning and think to yourself hey I think I’ll go jump off a tower today, and they thought they’d go unseen? Police should of let them jump maybe they’d get caught and hang themselves… morons”
Brian Douglas Richard: “They were going to jump off and land on the Target Roof, cut a hole and suck out all the iPads.”
Lucy Steszewski-Gilliam: “Well at least you didnt have to go far to cover the story!”
Jim Cinders: “They have crappy phones, they needed better reception”
Ana Figueroa: “They’ve been playing too much Grand Theft Auto”
