Indian on Top of the World!

It's Babu Sassi, a fearless young man from Kerala in southern India,
a cult hero of Dubai 's army of construction workers.

Known as the "Indian on the top of the world",
Babu is the crane operator at the world's tallest building, the 2,687 foot Burj Dubai.

His office, the cramped crane cab perched on top of the Burj, is also his part-time home.
It takes too long to come down to the ground every day to make it worthwhile -
although, when the building is completed, its elevators will be the world's fastest.

Stories about his risky job are discussed in revered terms by Dubai 's workers.
Some say he's paid far more then the average wage of $200 a month.

But everyone agrees, he's worth it -
