Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from southern India is the

cult hero of Dubai's army of construction workers.

Known as the "Indian on the top of the world", Babi is the

crane operator at the world's tallest building , the 819-meter

Burj Dubai. His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top

of the Burj, is also his home. Apparently it takes too long to

come down to the ground each day to make it worthwhile. 

When the building is completed, its elevators will be the

world's fastest. 

Stories about his daily dalliance with death are discussed in

revered terms by Dubai's workers. Some say he has been up

there for more than a year, others whisper that he's paid

30,000 dirhams ($8,168) a month compared with the average

wage of 800 dirhams a month. All agree he's worth it.
