Video – The mother of all thankless tasks…

One man and one sledgehammer against a 100 metre chimney.

Kind of makes you wonder what this guy did to deserve this job. One Chinese man (no great surprise there) armed with a sledgehammer and what looks like a length of string in place of a harness stood atop a 100 metre chimney that he is demolishing single-handedly.

Even setting aside the safety implications, in a country blessed with more than a billion people you would think that they could at least find someone to help the guy.
