[WATCH] Helicopter Lifts Equipment To Corning Tower Roof
It's not everyday you see a helicopter hovering over Albany's tallest building.

According to All Over Albany, the systems used to go up and down the tower for maintenance (Window cleaning, etc) are due for an upgrade, so a helicopter was brought in to lift the new apparatus and parts to the roof of the Corning Tower.
