All I have are camera phone snapshots. Look close and you'll see the two workers in the cage. Not a job I'd like to have!

The stack is rigged to one crane which is holding its weight while a second crane holds a cage with two workers high above the shops. They are using a cutting torch and slowly going around the circumference of the stack. Very much like a tree service felling a tree in a crowded neighborhood.
