i still have the bulb. tucker: you found the guy who goes all the way to the top. that guy s name is tom sowellabid. at the top of the empire state building is a radio tower, and when the needle is on, you will fry up there. google the empire state building.y you will see that there are some stairs on the needle, and then there is a crows nest with no sides. so it is just a circular platform and a free-for-all. and then there is 150 feet of pegs to where the light bulb is, and it s actually just a gigantic light bulb. [laughs] right? so it was an honor to go with him and his people who are from kentucky, indiana, just great guys. a really interesting crew, and then not a year later, those planes hit the towers. light bulb goes out again. so september 11th, the towers go out. and the light bulb goes out in november, and he has to fix it.
