Window Cleaners on World's Tallest Building, Burj Khalifa in Dubai

while visiting on floor 124 at Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, I saw the awesome sight of the people cleaning the windows outside, simply hanging on ropes.

thanks everybody. too bad I shot the video only in VGA, I should have shot it in FHD 1080. Next time. Not so easy to shoot through windows with all the reflecting light. Should try with a polarizing filter maybe ? anyway, yes these workers are brave people. Be proud of what you do , guys. I know that if I was a window cleaner on highrise buildings I would be so proud to do so on Burj Khallifa , or any of the top ten highest buildings. Gentlemen, I salute you !

@johnnysalv

wow, thanks for your message. It is an honour to talk to you. Indeed I was very lucky that the cleaners were right on 124 floor when I happened to be there. Awesome. Please can you give us some input, details on their work ? How many people do this job ? what is their salary ? Have there been any injuries or fatalities or is it all safe ? How many hours a day are they on shift ?

I wish I could have stayed longer to do a real documentary... maybe another day ?

@johnnysalv

also, as you can see when seeing my site, klipsi dot com , you see I like storms and lightning, I would love to come to Dubai in the best season for thunderstorms... when is in YOUR opiniion the best time for 'bad' weather ? Is it possible to get to the floor 124 even in case of thunderstorm and lightning ?

if you want photos or videos of thunderstorm hitting your wonderful Burj Khalifa and are looking for an expert weather photographer, please remember me ;-)

Great video guys, i was wondering when we'd see window cleaners on the Burj ( brave lads)

[TheOdaddyo1]

A lot of hard work. I hate working on the sunny side when washing windows on high rise buildings the window can dry up before you put your sqeegy on it. I enjoyed your video very much. good work guys.

أنا عندبي اقتراح لماذا لا يصمم الزجاج من الداخل بحيث يفتح من الداخل والخارج معا وهكذا عندما ينظف من الداخل يقلبه للخارج !!

والعكس
