I saw this last week and it made my stomach turn!!! What is wrong with these people??

I remember commenting on the high-rise skyscraper in Dubai; but this takes the cake. Does anyone else ever feel a *pull* from high places?

Totally, jatfla. Gravity's a b*tch and won't let me go. Keeps pulling me down all the time.

Agree with y'all completely - I have acrophobia and almost half-reached out to pull those people out of harm's way (in the photographs)!

Wheeo...I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one. Obviously these people don't have that problem.

Can you hear the rushing sound of the waterfall? The force of the flow? I felt myself purely freeze watching these people. I'm proud of you that you felt the need to *rescue* them. I was in escape mode.

Thanks, but I must humbly specify, the rescue attempt was only up to the photographs - wouldn't be able to relate to the situation personally...I'd be in freeze-frame mode, dry mouth, butterflies (not to mention other insects too!),etc.
