What I want to know is: How the hell did they extend those ladders?
I'll make a guesstimate on this one. The position of the camera may be adding to an optical illusion. Each ladder appears to be 2 twenty foot sections on a sliding frame. More likely they weren't extended up from the bottom but down from the top. Could be, but a fun picture either way. Enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteMilleson - Actually, I had wondered that same thing.
ReplyDeleteLook at the bottom of the reddish ladder... so that is not the floor. Are they lying on the floor?
ReplyDeleteuptonking - I just don't know. I tried enlarging the signature in the lower left corner to see which direction the type was, but I couldn't read it. It's a mystery.
ReplyDeleteWell... It just seems like there is no firefighter around to comment.
ReplyDeleteBut if you still wonder how a ladder can be expanded at such height, I would suggest you ask one of those cute - and fit - guys from Home-Depot (or else). No matter if you buy the ladder, I am confident you will get the boy to roll his arse up to the last step :)
BatRedneck - Gee, you must have more accommodating guys at your Home Depot.
ReplyDeleteThey used ropes and pulleys. Look at the reddish ladder on the left. There is a rope that is tied to the 4th lowest rung of the upper segment. It extends upward to an (unseen) pulley on the next-to-top rung of the lower segment, and then hangs down. You can see the black rope just to the right of the bottom of the ladder (that's not a crack in the wall). For the silver ladder on the right, you can't see where the rope is on the ladder, but it is hanging down from near the top of the lower segment all the way to the ground. See how it's a bit wiggly -- again that's not a crack.
ReplyDeleteI think the bottoms of the ladders are resting on a flooded floor, you can see reflections of markings on the wall in the darker browner area.
Anon@12:01am - OMG, you are correct! I had totally forgotten that ropes are used for long extension ladders. Thanks for your investigative analysis.
