Well that bit of information certainly floated to the top of our attention.

At the 6:00 minute mark you can see workers on the deck and get a sense of the size of these things.
No life jackets, safety vests, hard hats… a different time.

Well, at least in the top five.

Ah yes, the good old days! When every carpenter had at most nine fingers and painters went mad from the fumes.

Old B/W of skyscrapers being built. Safety net? Hardly.

Back in the 1930s depression my grandfather worked on the Grand Coulee Dam in the US state of Washington.

Everyone got a benzadrine(amphetamine) dose at the start of the night shift and again at the midnight-ish lunch. They lost people all the time and apparently there is a memorial to all of the men buried alive somewhere at the concrete of the dam. Grandad broke under the stress and drugs, had his freakout and became an apple farmer.

As soon as I seen the apparent HF discone antenna I had a sense of the size. In my imagination I see the engineers specifying the mast guy lines going “hey we can make an HF antenna with these”. Simple shor based HF antennas will increase the communications rang at lest cost than highe towers fr VHF
Yes those where different times. I’m confused; do those making note of the lack of safety gear believe society should return to those times. In they event they do. In they event they,they should hold their breath. safety items add the the black line for the insurance sector at no cost to that sector.. Who does Joe Public believe who writes safety regulation?
