On February 13 a video posted by two Russian men, Vadim Makhorov and Vitaly Raskalov, went viral on all social media platforms. The video, and accompanying photos, shows the two adrenaline seekers scaling the 650m height of the future tallest building in Shanghai which is yet to be completed. Many of us have been through the stomach churning ordeal of watching the video.
Not to be embarrassed by two foreigners, the Shanghai police are now investigating the act, presumably under the law of trespassing. City police have also begun an investigation into the security measures at each of Shanghai’s tallest buildings as it turns out the two men also climbed the six other tallest buildings in the city.

I was overwhelmed by the extraordinary prowess of the two dudes running high of adrenalin, especially when I learned that this was not the first time that they challenged extreme scaling. I'd say, brother, watch your safty.
