The videos were shot on GoPro cameras attached to the worker's helmets in October, but was just posted on YouTube last week.

A second video, shows workers goving over the edge of the monument.

Dave Megerle told the St. Louis Public Radio the job was supposed to be five days, but ended up taking 11 due to wind.
