True Grit: America's daring ironworkers walk the girders just like their forefathers as they rebuild at Ground Zero
It is a symbol of blue-collar America at its very best. The daring ironworker strides confidently across a foot-wide steel girder, hundreds of dizzying feet above the ground. The images echo the famous 1932 picture of the riveters balanced vertiginously above the city streets while they ate the lunch during the building of the Rockefeller Centre. But these incredible pictures were taken yesterday as work got underway on the first office block at Ground Zero in New York.

These types of pictures make my plums shrink up, heights scare the bejesus out of me. Never used to as a kid, but now I'm older I pack myself.

And then the employer was fined a record amount for not providing a safe work place.
There'd be a field day if that was here. |

Maybe that's how they are trying to get unemployment under control. One falls off, another gets off unemployment.

The dude on the far right of the pic from the 30s looks as if he's got a bourbon or whiskey bottle in his hand. I'm sure it must have been filled with water though right? LOL!
Great pictures! GK

Wonder how peoples attitudes to safety regulations would change if they lost a loved one due to an employer not providing a safe workplace |

Yeah, you definately need the right "tools" for this kind of work.
Almost all of this type of high rise construction is done in reinforced concrete these days, as its much cheaper, faster, better and safer....... except in America, whats with that.
