New video of people on top of Vancouver’s Trump Tower released

WATCH: Footage of two people climbing up to the scaffolding on the roof of the yet to be completed Trump International Hotel and Vancouver Tower.

For the second time in less than a month, footage of people illegally climbing Vancouver’s Trump Tower has surfaced online.

The video, which was posted to YouTube, shows two people climbing ladders and scaffolding on the unfinished Trump International Hotel and Vancouver Tower in the middle of the night, getting to the roof by sunrise.

“They were very skillful, I will say that,” said Joo Kim Tiah, president and CEO of Holborn Group.

“[But] this is a very serious matter. We just heard about a young man dying in a Coquitlam construction site, the same thing could have happened here.”

The tower on Georgia Street is still under construction and is supposed to stand around 188 meters, or 63 stories, tall when its construction is complete in 2016.

Tiah says the video appears to have been taken before the company put in strong security measures following the release of the first video. Prior to the first incident they already had security cameras and 24-hour security guards on site.

But he says that doesn’t excuse the situation, and that they will be following up with Vancouver Police on the incident.

“We need to do a better job. If anyone can identify these people, they should contact the police to ensure this will never happen again.”

“People are determined to do certain things. What needs to be done is people who are aware of these situations, they need to do their part in identifying these people.”
