Alain Rober Climbs Philippines Skyscraper

Footage from below the 43-story GT International Tower in Manila, Philippines, shows urban climber Alain Robert climbing the building. He was later arrested by Philippines police after climbing the 9th tallest building in the country located on Ayala Avenue, Makati City,. Robert said: ''GT looks easy to climb but there's a problem. I don't think I can go all the way to the top because three meters is missing at the top.'' The urban climber scaled the building for about an hour before he was apprehended by the authorities. The city rescue team assembled a caution bag below to catch the 56-year-old Robert as he descended. Makati Police chief Senior Superintendent Rogelio Simon said: "Because his climb, although he did not enter the building, he still climbed a private property. He does not have permit, he lacks coordination. It's also a safety threat to everyone. He can be charged with public disturbance."
