My utmost respect for these amazing construction workers for their skills, their commitment, their bravery and their amazing dexterity in light of conditions under which most of us can't even imagine.
These men were made of steel you know how you can tell? by the rust stains in their underwear! Brave souls they were, bit they worked in the rain and snow
When and why did Ironworker begin to utilize belts/harnesses & lanyards? I’ve seen a number of these (Lewis Hines?) photos before, and have been around active and retired Union Ironworkers, but have yet to inquire…
Omg it takes like 10 minutes for that freaky, tingling, zappy feeling from the waist down when I see people at dangerous heights, especially on beams, to go away!!! Ahhhhgh! :-[
Included several photos I know for a fact have nothing to do with ESB. 0:15 shows a bridge under construction and the shots from lunchtime atop a skyscraper are from Rockefeller Center
So many that nowadays the project would be shut down. Most of the workers killed were upstate Mohawk. They got almost no compensation for injuries or death.
