Man Climbs Skyscraper In San Francisco, Plants American Flag At Top

video
» 17 comments

While many of us were relaxing this Labor Day, one man was shooting for the stars! Or, at least, as high as a 58-story San Francisco skyscraper. Earlier today, a man in his 50s, presumed to be “The Skyscraper Man” Dan Goodwin, climbed the high-rise Millenium Towers. At the top, he planted an American flag with the help of some onlookers before descending onto an observation deck and getting promptly arrested by the police. Watch video of the last few minutes of his incredible climb below. And, if you’re sadly alone on this holiday, just turn up the volume and pretend CNN’s Rick Sanchez is a buddy of your’s as he gives his delighted play by play commentary.

    Isn’t there a law against that in San Francisco? I’m not talking about climbing up a skyscraper. I mean the part about the flag.

    I don’t think I could ever be so lonely that I would want to pretend Rick Sanchez is my friend.

    Actually, you can climb a skyscraper and hang a flag but only if its not our own. That would be offensive.

    Maybe I should say retarded coward cause he wouldn’t burn a real one. Can’t tell what color he is but then that doesn’t concern me. Only far left retards have a question about it.

    “Watch video of the last few minutes of his incredible climb after the jump.”

    Lol, in this case, I think that might not of been the best choice of words.

    Not only do liberals love America more than cons, we do it with style and talent.

    Straight to the top, spider man style!

    God bless America.

    Wow, you really must have a dark heart to try to turn something like this into a partisan issue.

    Turn something like this? This is a publicity stunt, not a holy sacrament. Get off your sanctimonious platform.

  • jk76

    He has his reasons for doing it. For me I just thought it was another stupid stunt that was uninteresting, but then unfurling Old Glory…that’s when it’s awe-inspiring. Then I looked up his reason/history.

    Something great about going about an unusual way of putting up the USA Flag.

    The comment above about a SF flag law was funny, a good joke that doesn’t detract from the event. The other one about him being a liberal is unproven, just because it’s in SF. Nationalism is considered a right-wing characteristic, just a fun fyi.

    “Nationalism is considered a right-wing characteristic, just a fun fyi.”

    Yes we knew about that, thanks to Hitler.
