My Grandfather was an iron worker in Seattle and worked on many of the high rise buildings. Some of the photos he took are beyond breathtaking. Going to work every day 10 hours per day in all types of weather and wind doing what he did for 30 years is absolutely astounding.
It really is amazing. I wonder if he had any close calls😬
Much respect
Never gets old crossing this bridge.
In honor of all the men whom put thier lives on the line and lost their lives to build the Mackinaw Bridge. 🙏❤
This is a important piece of American History. It shows our enginenuity, know how, and the guts to do the job. DQ.
Its such an awesome feeling crossing the "Mighty Mac"
I drove over the bridge in 2013 when my mom and her husband got married on mackinaw island. I was looking at the bridge the whole 2 days I was on the island, so when I was leaving I had to drive across the bridge first, And I never knew I had to pay a toll on the way back lol but it was totally worth it! Plus I didn't have much choice cuz how else would I have gotten back lol. But I had to drive across because I love bridges and the way they're constructed especially over water blows my mind!
IVE BEEN ACROSS THIS BRIDGE('02) &THE ISLAND ON THE OTHER SIDE IS 'OUT OF TIME', NICE PEOPLE
I first drove across this bridge in Nov. 1966. It's impressive.
American!!!! Love it...im a concrete finish, I've worked on a bridge and I love watchn this!!!
American engineering!!!
I grew up in Michigan and am old enough to remember the ferry rides we took in the summer to reach the Upper Penn. So, we were among the first to cross the next summer, after completion, on the bridge.
Impressive beautiful bridge. Crossed it a few times. The view at sunrise and sunset from the bridge is amazing. 6 hours from my Indiana home.
The bridge is Magnificent! A true feat of man
I did this kind of work for a few years, glad I did it, good times.
A marvelous testiment to the brilliant mind of designer Dr. David B Steinman & the brave workers who made it a reality.. & of course the Mackinac Bridge Authority who maintain it today.
Good lord that would be a scary job I would have to take anxiety pills every day to go to work
Right? 😆

I liked the guy bouncing across the chainlink fence like he was playing on a trampoline way way way up there. Just another day at the office. Lol
@@StopListenThink Lmfao 🤣
You're hilarious 😂
For the time, an engineering marvel. Just think, no computers, no cell phones, just old fashioned ( by today's standards ), technology... and it's still standing.
I was born and raised in the U.P. but my parents were both trolls, so all the relatives lived below the bridge. In June of 56 we moved to Alaska for 4 yrs when we returned mom was all excited to see the new Bridge, it was under construction when we left. I remember dad just hating to pay the 5 dollar toll fee to cross. Yrs later as an adult I realized that the average wage was something like 1.25 an hr in 1961 so that was like 4 hrs of work to pay that fee! Youch! Today I maken20 dollars an hr so the equivalent would be like 80 dollars to cross. No wonder dad hated that fee. I rode with him in his semi truck in May of 1974 across the bridge. Cost 22.00 dollars
Just crossed in a car a month ago (August 2022). Fare: $4.00
I grew up and live 15 miles south of it. Tip of the mitt. Beautiful , if you dont mind our winters.
So awesome🤗
How many men do you think they lost? 🤔
They lost a LOT of men! Their names used to be engraved somewhere on the bridge.
@@lovingmama21 Only 5 of them died.
My boyfriend was an ironworker who was part of the crew who maintains the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. He worked at unbelievable heights secured only by a cable to his waist. Yet he was terrified of carnival rides because he wasn't the one in control. LOL
My grandpa worked on this bridge
Very interesting. Brave and skilled manpower
that bridge and island have a lasting memory in me from childhood was really amazed and love my family trip to area and upper michigan .
very immpressive structure .
More American Heroes hard at work God bless all our heroes amazing
I for one would like to see the rest of the building of the bridge I've been across it many times
LET'S GO BRANDON🎯
Trump for Prison.
Look at that beautiful display of American patriotism 🇺🇸
Imagine how long it would take us to build it today with the American work force now.
Well if they’re looking for me to go work on it they would have to wait forever because I ain’t doing it
Probably longer as they would bring racism into it somehow😜
🤣😆🖐😅🤣
They've been working on a short section of the 5 FWY here in CA for 5 YEARS with NO END IN SITE! 🤯
You mean with the Mexican workforce we have now.
Thanks Fox News People For All Your Informative Videos.
where is the rest of this wonderful documentary
I'm watching a new bridge tunnel being built right now in Hampton Virginia. Things have came a long way
Amazing project and video!
Boats took people there at one time. Thx for history lesson
I love "BIG MAC" ctossex it many many times ❤
The days american were men and women and not Karens, victims clout chaser or ant-american
The ant-americans are everywhere and nowhere. We will not forget your slander, Frank. 🐜
Impressive 🇺🇸
My Great great grandfather designed these. Come From a long line of civil engineers.
More cowbell! That was funny!
It's amazing what Infrastructure can do to better peoples lives!
It's even better when there's no Democrats to steal the money.
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 Without the Dems there would be no money... just more "infrastructure week" that never comes...
More please
As long as I lived in the U.P. I never want across that bridge...
anyone walking on a catwalk of fencing that high to build the bridge has some big kahunas.
I broke the cowbell
American made...the USA needs more made in America...yes, a sense of pride.
Fix the leaking oil pipes under it now
5 died constructing this bridge
😮❤🎉
It would take Democrats a million gabillion thousand dollars and it still wouldn't be finished because the money would disappear into consulting firms they started. Cali is a perfect example.
No such thing as MANUFACTURERS RECALLS back then!
Hmm...I don't see any strong, independent women building these bridges.
They tried in Florida.
American-made. Documentary produced by the British.
This was before Unemployment benefit era .
With the "work from home" generation of today, we may never see such projects constructed by American born citizens. The labor force would need be imported.
😯😲😖😱…dear unemployment agency ….nope
Pass

You can drive over the bridges in West florida and see the sheen of radioactive material floating around in what used to be pristine waters, now my kids cant swim in the waters they used to because DeSantis is killing us off in one way or another.
What an incredible job and achievement.
I wonder if they had proper ratio of races on that bridge. If diversity hires played role in that clearly white privilege job.
Being an ironworker doesn't have a fking thing to do with white privilege. Take your racism somewhere else.
@@hermit1620 you are an idiot. It was sarcasm.
Read the Bible for ultimate answers.
First
So the moral of the story is money wasted OK
