I think the funniest part about this is imagining how much money it cost.

They had to get both those trucks, get them on the roof of a building, pay for all those charges, somehow get that ariel view, buy the rigging to allow the Giant to fall from the roof safely, etc. It had to have costed close to a million dollars.

For what it's worth, The Cobo Center has a rooftop parking lot, which is where the monster truck thing was staged. The side that The Giant fell off of actually has another roof area about 15 feet down, which is where they set up the crash pads and what have you for him to land on. There's a good 50-100 feet to the river from there, and all of the Detroiters in the audience would probably have known that.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Model_of_Detroit.jpg is a great visual of this. The circular thing that looks like the top of a battery is the Cobo Arena, the parking area to the left of it is where the monster truck match happened.
