When patriotism still meant something and New Yorkers had balls of tempered steel. (b&w appx 3 minutes)

Wow!
Great video! I was on site for more than a few ‘top off’ days. It was always a very special and important milestone event to the guys building the new Skyscrapers.
I get woozy just watching those guys bop around like that so high up.
OSHA would not be amused. I wonder if all these guys were flaming liberals. Bloomberg fans.
Anytime I approach a sudden drop off, I feel it pulling me toward it and have to get back. I can’t imagine anyone riding that girder.
I think a lot of them were Mohawk indians.
“OSHA would not be amused.”
I know. That guy wasn’t wearing a hard hat. What if he had fallen?
Me too. They just walk around like they were down on the sidewalk. 40 stories up walking on a support beam doesn’t bother them at all. One guy even gets off balance and meh no big deal
I have heard that too. Also Apache’s.

Yeah, right at the beginning the guy does a balance check 40 stories up!
I’m not a fan of that kind of heights. I don’t even like it when I’m inside a fully built skyscraper, hah!
I been at topping out parties.
First picture on my about me page bolting-up is from a crane operator.
Second picture is taken by a Mohawk Indian shortly before topping out..
“I wonder if all these guys were flaming liberals. Bloomberg fans”
Yeah, they were all flaming liberals and voted for Bloomberg and now they’re voting for De Blasio./s
You were an iron worker? God Bless! Me...Tempelhof AB 1966-1969, USAF.
I was a Local 40 Union iron worker for 10 years. Then I mostly worked 5 years in Local 361 Long Island. I had Mohawk friends sleeping on my sofa and giving me moose meat they hunted. Then a friend invited me to join a trip to Germany and I met a young lady here who I married.
I love seeing our flag roll with the breeze. Most beautiful flag in the entire world. U.S. Army 1985-1993
I have several photos of Tempelhof taken by my Father in 1945. Full of destroyed airplanes. Others of Ike’s plane landing there, also in 1945.
Youtube will pull it as offensive, I’m sure.
i simply dont understand how they can do that...its unreal...
It gives me the heebeegeebies just to watch.
