Medieval Cranes And Their Operators

Ever wonder how the great medieval cathedrals were built? If so, you have got to watch the following video clip.

The clip is part of Tony Robinson's wonderful documentary series entitled Worst Jobs In History. I think you will agree that once you see what a medieval crane operators job entailed it is definitely worthy of being considered a "worst job" .... eeek!!! Have a look, and see for yourself what these treadmill operators went through. Kudos to Tony for actually trying it out!!!
