quote:



A 24-year-old man slipped and fell to his death as he and a friend tried to scale the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday night using scaffolding near the top of the tower, the police said.

The man, Conner Cummings, of Rockaway, N.J., and his friend had reached the 51st floor of the 52-story hotel around 11:15 p.m. after getting access to one of the building’s midlevel roofs and clambering up scaffolding attached to an air shaft.

The pair were trying to take photos of the skyline, the police said. Mr. Cummings and his friend, 18, were on opposite sides of the scaffolding.

But rain began falling hard over Manhattan, and the friend, who was not identified, told investigators he suddenly heard a bang. Mr. Cummings had disappeared, the friend told the police. He found his body on a maintenance catwalk 30 to 40 feet below.

If you're going to free-climb shite, don't do it in the rain.

Am I supposed to feel bad for him? Because I definitely do not. Much like the chick who joined ISIS.

That would have made the coolest selfie. Definitely worth the risk.
