In Putin's Russia, kids climb tall objects without any safety equipment.
In Biden's America, kids jump in the water with water wings.

I want to know how they get the cranes down once the jobs finished.

The buildings in the video are typical of the types of roofing i did before retiring, saw a few of these cranes go up and down, the biggest headache i had was scheduling crane lifts, everything over 3 stories went up by crane and there were 1/2 dozen other contractors waiting in line.
Na,na,na, now... that crane is on the ground next to the building. I get that but the others are part of the structure till they come down.
They lift their own parts and material as they build upward.
How do they lower the parts of the crane themselves when they're taking them down?

I've seen video of tower maintenance that's insane. Don't think I could've ever done anything like that.
The unfinished Goldin Finance 117 building that they're on is 1,976 feet tall to the top floor. They're on a construction tower ABOVE the top floor which extends the height of their climb even further! I figure at least an extra 100 feet because of the construction tower and crane structure. Over 2000 feet up. I have no idea why I get SO damned nervous when it's 2000 feet up. heck a four story drop will kill me if I land on concrete, but being 4 stories up doesn't freak me out.
