Amazed, I am, that she did this, and was so calm when getting rescued. Marisa Lazo, you are both crazy and brave, but do not do this again. 27 firefighters were called, excluding police and other emergency services. Up so high, 45m in the sky, but why?

Personal protective equipment: none. She is wearing high heels, jeans and a particularly clean jean jacket. No phone. No gloves. This is very odd.

How did she get up there? I suppose she could have climbed, but the firefighter that saved her took 1 hr 20 mins to reach her. This is not an easy climb. Moreover, how did she get onto the hook, down 15m, all without hurting her hands from the friction and sharp steel burrs, and staying so clean from all the grease they put on the cables? Something just does not add up.

Sitting on the hook, sidesaddle, she looks like she is sitting in the subway and not 45m up high. She is very calm. She sits with only a single arm around the cable, calm and collected, waiting for someone to help her.

Kudos to Toronto Fire, who saved her, all without incident. Awaiting her at the bottom were 8 police charges of mischief. She should also pay for the emergency services she invoked. That still does not take away the awesomeness of her spectacle.
