Alain Robert, aka French Spiderman, Climbs Shanghai Jinmao Tower

    Alain Robert, aka  French SpidermanEven after Chinese authorities turned down two of requests, French 'Spiderman' Alain Robert still decided to climb China's (world's fourth) tallest Shanghai Jin Mao Tower.

    On Thursday clad in a Spiderman costume, the 44-year-old made a barehanded ascent and descent of the 88-storey iron-and-glass structure, achieving the feat in 90 minutes.

    But his feet had barely touched the ground, Chinese police immediately arrested him.

    Now what is waiting for him is a custody of 15 days in a Chinese jail.

    Robert has scaled the most tallest buildings in the world including Taipei 101, Empire State Building, Paris's Eiffel Tower.
