Iconic structure. Good evening and thank you for joining us tonight. This stunt happened last month, but the video was released to the public today by the teenagers who climbed that bridge. It goes without saying do not try this yourself. The video shows them climbing up the main cable to the top of the north tower. Youll notice theyre not wearing any safety equipment. Live aft. Reporter can i say that this is not easy to watch. Now these guys were up there for about an hour and one of them told me that they had initially thought about staying there to watch the sun rise, but then thought that if they did, they would get caught.

If i knew i wasnt going to get in trouble i would do it. What about getting killed . They were fine. Very stumid. Stupid. The british tourists wonder who would. I wou
Not an a mustment park ride. They shimmied up the ropes to pull off their 10point stunt. Razor wire was no deterror ent. Deterrent. If either of these men had slipped or fallen there could have been harm to motorists below. Cameras are focused on the bottom. We focus efforts on the bridge where you can hurt it. This is incredible. So beautiful up here. Seeing them do back flips and dangle their legs on the sides is unnerving. It is incredibly hard to get on the cables. He will help identify security weaknesses if they like. He hopes they are not prosecuted. We are just kids. Nothing was damaged. No one was hurt. Two kids making money from their video. It is a misdemeanor with a year in jail, 10,000 dollars fine. For most people the sheer danger 750 feet above the bay, no harness is deterrent enough. It is remarkable. Thank you.
