Real men.
A long time ago.
They do not exist any longer in the western world EXCEPT in very limited ELITE military teams.
RARE AIR!
Once you’re 100 feet off the ground it doesn’t make much difference. I’ve been there, you don’t go there unless you’re sure of yourself.
They’re wearing a shirt and tie to do construction work!
Guy in sweater was looking for his golf ball.
Big deal! I was married to a Cajun woman for twenty years.
I’m sure Hunter Biden has been higher than that.
Heights scare me so I couldn’t even finish watching it.
But………but…………..they were smoking. I think they should be cancelled.
I bet they were real careful not to piss of their co-workers
Kcir, there are more of us still here then you know…..
No “Three Strikes” nonsense there.

izlamo delenda est …
Gunny
I believe you.
My step father worked high steel.
We asked him about being up so high.
He said they had a job to do and didn’t have time to be scared. He also said the American Indians were the best upthere.
*shiver*
Scary as heck!
Every OSHA bureaucrat’s horror flick.
Compare to today, where you have to wear a friggin’ harness to climb higher than six feet, never mind the gloves, plastic hats, and safety glasses.
I’ve lowered my expectations to putting on underwear without falling over.
My nephew washes windows downtown Portland on high rises. He told me that since the ropes have to touch the ground that he’s hanging from sometimes the druggies walk by and grab on to them and pull them around, he usually dumps water on them if he can.
my dad and his father were both iron workers
these guys weren’t your typical labor force by any stretch
my sister had one pic blown up & framed of my dad at the top of the renaissance center standing at the edge when it was still under construction
the ambassador bridge, cobo hall (now the TCF center), & joe louis arena are in the background – all jobs he and his dad had worked on
my friends were all afraid of my dad … lol
That’s nothing! Check these guys out:

Those lines carry 70,000 volts!!!!!!
They touch the lines with the wand to equalize the electrical potential between the chopper and the line before performing the work. If they didn’t they would vaporize.
My question is “Who was guy with enough balls to do this the first time?”
@Jethro:
Pretty cool vid, but that guy wouldn’t make it at Evergreen State College, the wokest college in America.
But he might not mind burning it down.
God bless those guys who do these dangerous jobs – I don’t care how much they make, they earn it.
Before I retired from ExxonMobil, if you were caught four feet or higher off the ground without a fall protection/safety harness on, you were fired.
I’ve been to the viewing deck of the Empire State Building, I have enjoyed viewing the skies as I flew across the country, and had no qualms recently about being on the roof and putting up the Christmas lights.
But two rungs up a ladder and I start getting really dizzy and very anxious. What the heck?
Hambone – Big deal! I’ve been married to a TexMex girl for 4 years.
@Toenex: If I was in that situation and a druggie pulled on my rope, he would not only get some (yellow) water dumped on him, but also an unpleasant brown semisolid substance.
However, I would never be in that situation to start with. I hate heights.
Those films pre date Nixon’s OSHA (’71) by at lest 30 years! If they tried that today Nixon’s “enforcers” would be “perp walkin”! As a CFO, decades ago I had some direct personal confrontation with Nixon’s men. They won!
