Woman Rescued From The Top Of 178-Foot-High Power Pole In Tokyo

A woman decided to give rescue workers something to due around midnight by climbing up a really tall pole:

A woman was rescued in the early hours of Thursday after climbing to the top of a 55-meter-high (178.8 feet) power pole in Tokyo, police said.

The woman was apparently not injured in the incident. Investigators are questioning the woman over the motives for her action, suspecting that she may have intended to kill herself. Local police are trying to identify the woman, believed to be in her 20s.

And a video of the climb:

lol. She even brought her bag with her. Doesn’t seem like a suicide attempt.

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that alcohol might have been involved.

eh…never really met many young Japanese girls? there is a tendency among them (more so than in other countries i’ve been in) where they actually *try* to be quirky or do spontaneous/weird things (not actually being so…but more trying to do so in order to be known as that kind of individual). probably had a friend with her but didn’t want to climb along and didn’t want to be associated in the news with her so made the anonymous call and left.
