#115 - Nicole Smith-Ludvik - Emirates Burj Khalifa Stuntwoman

June 22, 2022 • Alex MacPhail

Nicole Smith-Ludvik stood on top of the world last year! She was the stuntwoman in the Emirates Air Hostess uniform, standing on top of the Burj Khalifa. At nearly 1 kilometre above the earth, The Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. The small square platform is only big enough for one person to stand dead still on the top.

Later in 2020, the stunt team got together once more and complete a second, more complex activity on top of the Burj Khalifa. This involved an Airbus A380, the largest aircraft in the world, making a flypast just behind Nicole, while she stood at the top.

This conversation is inspirational and heartfelt. Nicole suffered two major tragedies and injury in her early twenties. She lost her first husband and within two years, after rebuilding her life, she lost her new life partner in a motor vehicle accident. The accident left her broken and injured and unsure if she would be able to walk again.

Her journey to the top of the world is an amazing story. Please take a listen and enjoy.
