Recently, a video of a Russian model shooting photos atop a 73-story building in Dubai has been circulating on social media. Victoria Odintcova, the Russian model, did not have permission for this stunt nor the necessary equipment. In one of the photos, she is seen hanging off the edge of a beam while holding onto another person's hand with just one hand. In another photo, she leans backward over the edge of the building, supported by this person's hand. She has her eyes closed in the photo but was relaxed enough for the photography and filming team to capture the shot. In a video posted by Odintcova on her Instagram, the training process for this stunt, which was done on the ground rather than at height, is shown. According to Yahoo News, over 3.3 million people follow Ms. Odintcova's account on Instagram. When she published these photos and videos, she stated that all these actions were carried out with the help of a specialized team and urged people not to attempt such stunts alone. However, Ms. Odintcova's actions were not only dangerous but also legally unauthorized. The Dubai police released her after obtaining a signature from her promising not to engage in any dangerous activities in Dubai again. It is likely that Victoria will soon choose another dangerous location for photos to surprise her Instagram followers. She has previously shared photos while bungee jumping and on the edges of cliffs.
