. Osha won't let you hang around on the job like this any more. Watch what they do. http://www.flixxy.com/greetings-from-ney-york-city-1901.htm .
Man talk about a different time. Just think about what some day the next generations will say about the way we do things now.
Scary when you think that probably both the boom and the load were "live" no power down!
Thats the worst,all on the brake or hopefully through the draw works.But that was the "norm" back then and no one blinked an eye at it.
That's pretty cool Bumpus ,the workmen looked like they knew what they were doing & happy to have a job.Heck....It would not surprise me if in the future we might see this type of deliberate motivated craftsmanship come back.Thanks for sharing the video .
