Work has begun on the Powerhouse building for Jersey City's new teevee offering

Men with no fear began putting scaffolding up around the stacks of the Powerhouse building this morning. This is all part of next season's show which will take place in Jersey City called "Wipeout: Death Factor!" It takes the wildly popular format of the show Wipeout (seen here) and ups the ante. Sure the cash and prizes will be bigger because instead of falling off an apparatus and landing in 'the fluids' you might just land 10 stories down on Washington St.

Production should begin later this summer.
