Yesterday afternoon, many white collars working in the Jin Mao Tower suddenly saw the "Spider-Man" in the movie crawling past the glass windows. Alain Robert, the famous French "Spider-Man", dressed in a "Spider-Man" costume, climbed to the top of the Jin Mao Tower by hand in half an hour, attracting a lot of people. However, due to violation of relevant regulations, when he climbed down the building from the exterior wall of Jin Mao, he was immediately taken away by the police and received a penalty of detention for 5 days. This is the fifth individual violation of climbing since the completion of the Jin Mao Tower.
Climbing eight floors in the air to make a phone call
At 2:30 pm yesterday, Wu Xue, who worked on the sixth floor of the Jin Mao Tower annex hotel, suddenly saw a person wearing a "Spider-Man" costume and mask running towards the main building on the roof platform of the second floor corridor.
"At first, I thought it was an activity organized by the building side, as the 'Children's Day' was approaching," Wu Xue said. When she saw Spider-Man quickly start to climb the west side of the main building of Jinmao, she realized that Jinmao had encountered another climber.
"He is very agile and climbed the first few layers very fast," Wu Xue said. When he climbed to the eighth floor above the roof platform of the connecting corridor, Spider-Man stopped in the air, took out his mobile phone and made a phone call, and gave a thumbs-up pose facing the building below.
The property security personnel of Jinmao discovered Spider-Man when he began to climb the main building's outer wall. For the safety of the climber himself, the security personnel did not forcibly stop him.
Jinmao immediately informed the police, and a large number of rescue forces such as public security and fire services quickly arrived at the scene. At that time, the man had already climbed to the 30th floor of Jinmao Tower. The police immediately set up a cordon line, evacuated the onlookers, and arranged personnel to observe on the inner side floor, deploying rescue measures. To prevent the climber from falling, the police set up a protective air cushion and dispatched officers to the roof to prepare to place a basket from the top floor, but it was not implemented due to strong winds.
Reached the top
White-collar workers shoot "Spider-Man" through the window
Many white-collar workers working in the main building of Jinmao also found the figure of "Spider-Man" suddenly appeared outside the glass window while they were working. In surprise, many white-collar workers took out their mobile phones and shot through the window.
When Spider-Man saw someone inside the building pointing photographic equipment at him, he would occasionally pose in various ways to cooperate, even making dangerous moves like clamping the external wall frame with both legs and raising both hands as a signal.
The red and blue clothes of "Spider-Man" and his thrilling actions quickly attracted more and more onlookers. Tourist Mr. Sun, who was shooting "Spider-Man" with his mobile phone, said: "He climbed too fast. When I saw him, he was probably only at the 20th floor, but after about 20 minutes, he climbed to the top floor."
According to eyewitnesses, Spider-Man did not use any ropes or other equipment, completely climbing by hand. When he climbed to the first external wall platform of the main building, Spider-Man went around to the side of the main building facing Garden Bridge Road, and then climbed straight up along the middle of this side of the building, resting very little during the process. Half an hour later, "Spider-Man"
