traffic is shut down in front of trump tower, which of course is in the heart of midtown manhattan. all that is going on. one thing that occurred to me is that if we do get rain here, that's going to present a significant challenge to this guy as he tries to make his way up the side of the building as police try to review their tactics and figure out how best to handle this. as i'm sure you've mentioned several times, officers don't the supervisors don't want to put them in jeopardy. it's a very difficult situation because right now the only person who's in jeopardy is the guy who chose on his own to scale the side of this building. he clearly is showing no signs of wanting to come off of the people who saw him begin to scale the building. we've been talking to them and watching as this man has tried to do what he's doing on the side of the building. if you can just recap now for the audience, how it was that you were able to see this guy and what you saw him doing at the very beginning. >> we saw him because we were on the public garden on the top floor. he was acting kind of weird
