hopefully they could be picked off by a helicopter...
But 9 times out of 10 that wouldnt be the case... wind, weather conditions etc..
First of all, anyone picked would have to be a qualified high angle rescue technician. ( such as myself) . for an operation such as a rescue to the very top of that tower would be at the very minumum, a 6 man operation. We would have to determine what the purpose of the rescue is. Injury, equipment failure? Equipment failure being the best scenario, injury the worse. If its injury related then the extent of the injury determines patient packing and amount and type of equipment that need to be taken up, which in a situation such as that tower becomes a logistical nitemare.
They said there is an elevator up to the 1600 ft level, how big is it? If need be, can we fit a stokes basket in it or would it have to be hauled up the outside the whole way up? Either raising or lowering the victim would require muliple hauling systems to be set up at different levels.
It would be interesting.
I would have no problem doing it. Confidence in your equipment is the key. Over a certain height its all the same anyway.
