Changing a Light Bulb on Top of a 1500 Feet TV Tower!
Somebody has to change out that light bulb at the top of those tall TV towers! This is tower climber Kevin Schmidt making the climb to the very top of the now inactive KDLT TV analog broadcast antenna near Salem, SD.
What did you think of this incredible footage? Please leave a comment in the section below and remember to share.

Why doesn’t the company that owns this tower, just take it down since it is inactive. Changing a light bulb is just not something to die for no matter how good you are at heights.

You NEVER EVER catch me up that high! I’m afraid of heights I wouldnt get past the first section of tower!!!

I have trouble changing a light bulb in my lamp post outside. I don’t have problems with heights, not afraid. At 67 years young, I plan on going on a hot air balloon ride. Everyone is afraid it appears and won’t go with me, well, their loss. If I’m going to die may as well be something that I enjoy doing. We all have to go sometime, and if I had the stamina to climb that tower I would change the light bulb, but you would have to pay me big bucks for the job!!! Thank you sir, I admire you for what you do, if that makes you feel better. Have a great day!! Continue being safe, I don’t mind watching you changing the bulb and reading about that, just don’t want to read about you having a freak accident.

intestinal fortitude…Lol. Yeah, that’s a long climb up. A workout for real. To me it looks fun and adventurous, as long as there is a safety harness I could do this. A great video and I salute him for the job he do to change a light bulb.

Wow….that requires intestinal fortitude or what we would normally say…..guts!! Say, when he gets finished he could skydive off of the tower!! I wonder if a helicopter could place him at the top….it would save hundreds of steps.? I might say that my hat is off to this brave man….God bless you sir!

I guess someone has to do it, it wouldn’t be me. I’m sure he has friends & family praying for him each time he does this. Makes
me totally grateful for people like this.

Wow, the climber must make big bucks and have good insurance to take on a job such as this. I bet he’s in great shape as well, after a climb like that I would need a nap once I came down. That would be my entire job for the day, then I would call it quits….lol. And the videographer did a great job as well, perhaps he was on another tower close by?! In any case, I enjoyed this video, as if you really think about it, for just a few seconds, you actually can get away from the cares of the world, no fighting, no bickering, no arguments. Looking down at the earth’s beauty, watching the small cars passing by, it truly was a sight to behold. Thank you for sharing.
