Oops - someone did not really think that through at the design stage!



That's odd. A scissors platform sounds perfect for the job, or is it
much higher than it looks?

+1

Or will have to be a electric scissor lift that is only charged from
green solar panels that is used?

How does anyone else think that the lights got there in the first
place?
Bet it was a scissors platform or similar with an electrician and not
the local circus high-wire team doing the wiring.


I suspect that the concourse was probably empty at the time. As Chris
French says, it gets rather more complicated when it is full of people
and has to continue to operate normally.


And the high wire experts will not need the area below them corndoned
off?


I would expect them to sling netting close under where they are working to
protect people below, so probably not.


And the story is a wind up.-)
