Scary moment daredevil hangs from Southampton docks crane by one hand


Dangling one-handed from the top, climber James Kingston is shown carefully edging along a narrow steel beam on a crane in Southampton. In footage that appears to have been filmed with a chest-mounted camera, he is seen standing on the crane, with the city below him. The stunt appears to ape a bizarre craze that has swept Russia in which people clamber 1,000 feet up the sides of buildings without a safety harness.
