It would all have been much simpler if his pants/belt had just
let go.
This has got to be a top 10 for this year's Darwin Awards.
But maybe I'm being too conservative?

Shirtless in 35 degrees definitely sounds like a selfie moment
gone bad...

Seriously?
Between being suspended by his pants and upside down, plus
the
temperature, it’s hard to believe the guy is even still
alive. It
seems they have given up on the helicopter and are bringing
in a
crane. More on the smokestack, which is not exactly new:
Dixon’s Chimney was built for the adjoining Shaddon Mill in
1836
by Peter Dixon and architect Richard Tattersall.
The Grade II*-listed landmark was originally more than 320
feet
tall – making it the largest chimney in the country at the
time it
was built, according to Historic England.
However about 30 feet had to be taken off the top for safety
reasons after it was damaged by lightning in 1931.

i would not want to be under him cause i assume he is
raining poop
on people. Anybody know if this is that old guy that they
have all
the videos of working these smokestacks?
