Men. Doing shit. Fast, fearlessly and skillfully.
…..I’ve fapped to worse.
I’d watch, but I’m afraid of heights.
My mother’s uncle was one of those crazy Indians that worked High Steel back then and worked on that job. I think I still have some old photos with him in them..I had some of his tools like drift pins that I gave away to my great nephew before leaving Oregon.
Look Ma….no OSHA!!!
Topping Out was always the highlight of the job and always included the American Flag!
At 14:44 – watch the guy at the mini-furnace pick up a glowing hot rivet and toss it to one of the riveters who catches it in a pail…..30+ stories up in the air.
At one point they even considered making a docking station for air ships like the Hindenburg up in the tower but it was either Mother Nature or King Kong who changed their minds.
Still standing after all these years, but football teams claim they need a new stadium every 10 years.

Note the discussion from the intelligent, erudite man seven months ago. His comment should be up towards the top.
It’s all Burr’s fault….everytime….
Next video will be the communists taking it down.
Back in 1997/1998 Ghost did a masters program at Columbia. The big project was a historical structure and Ghost was give the Empire State Building!!!! Wish he could tell you all about it. We had loads of fun with this study. Great building. Well, after 2 months he was so disillusioned with Columbia he decided it wasn’t what he wanted. BUT we both learned a lot about the building and what true hard workers will do to complete the project.
Say your prayers everyday!
God Bless us all!
Plenty of rubberneckers out on the sidewalk.
“Men. Doing shit. Fast, fearlessly and skillfully.”
Even the men in the crowds watching it all were dressed well and wearing nice hats. Much better than today.
Videos like this are what come to mind with me when someone says “There ain’t no white culture” Beotch, you wouldn’t know culture if it hit you in the face. Whatchu talkin’ bout Willis? You da problem here.
Where’s the hard hats? And, what’s with the guy always sitting ( in the first few minutes)? City inspector?
I like the cops on horseback directing traffic.
They definitely had balls of steel to build the Empire State Bldg. Fascinating video and I love the music, I’m with Brad I don’t like heights either.
