You may have seen
on the news over the past couple of days that three guys with parachutes cut
their way into the highest part of Trump Tower and jumped off into the darkness
of night, disappearing, apparently intact, into Chicago’s River North where,
hopefully, rounds of cold brews awaited them.
BASE jumping (the
word stands either for Building, Antennae, Span, Earth OR Big Ado – Stupid
Exploit), is more popular in Chicago than the average citizen might
imagine. Particularly popular,
apparently, are buildings under construction.
Anyway, the story
reminded me of the morning of July 17, 2010 when I stood on the deck of
Chicago’s Fair Lady next to Captain George and watched five guys jump off
the top of Trump Tower as cameras rolled on the Transformers: Dark of the Moon
set.
Here are the
pictures that I took that morning . . . Why do it in the dark when it looks so cool in the sunlight?
