Am sure they were climbing it "because it was there". No word if they were occupiers or anything

Climbing an active tower is a good way to get cooked.

I grew up right near those towers in Newton/Needham and pass by them often.As a kid I often fantasized about climbing one but never got around to it.I remember we used to ride our bikes to the Channel 7 tower (which was new at the time) and stand at the base and look up.Pretty cool!

I have an office in Newton, practically in the shadow of those towers. For some reason, most people underestimate how tall these towers are. When I tell people that the tallest one of them is about twice as high as the John Hancock tower (in Boston), they find that hard to believe. Most people would guess that they are only about 500 feet off the ground when they are in fact closer to 2000 feet up.

I guess because they aren't solid buildings, they don't look as tall from a distance. But when you are standing right under them and look up, you then get a feeling for just how high they are. I can't do it without getting dizzy and losing my balance!
