Climbers scale world's second tallest building

Vertigo sufferers avert your eyes.

Two Russian daredevils have broken into the world's second tallest building and filmed their dizzying exploits on head-mounted cameras.

Vadim Makhorov and Vitaliy Raskalov scaled the 632m-high Shanghai Tower without safety harnesses or permission.

Video shows they are so high up the other so-called skyscrapers around them seem disappear underneath a blanket of clouds.

Not content with merely reaching the top floor, the two climbers scale a crane on top of the building which is extimated to reach heights in excess of 650 metres.

There they snap photos and video dangling by their arms over the city more than half a kilometre below them.

Shanghai Tower is only topped by the UAE's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building.
