And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Several years ago I could go up a sailboat mast to fix the light or whatever, then the rope slipped & dropped me 10ft. Never got the nerve again to go back up.
Where are the women, minorities, green-blue purple haired, trans, people, earing wearing, OH sorry not a Netflix poster for a new series THOSE WHO BUILD
You are wrong... I spent 6 years as an iron worker... I know guys like this... lived with them, drank with them, laughed and cried with them.... best men i ever met or knew... they do not care what anyone thinks about if they do this or not...its a different breed of man..
Really?... did you write that using a phone serviced and connected by structures men like this built??? I've met timid guys who think that as well... I forget their names...
Perhaps reckless is more appropriate - to climb the spire just for a photo is reckless, to work on the spire using appropriate harness and safety gear is just admirable.
They didn't climb it for a picture; they're installing the sections of that spire to completion. I suppose they wanted a picture to show their grandchildren. I can't say as I blame them.
Why Johnny! What an ugly thing to say. Does this mean we're not friends anymore? You know Johnny, if I thought you weren't my friend... I just don't think I could bear it!
Short of posing for this picture, what sort of work requires 5 guys on, what, 15 sqfeet?
FWIW, I have no doubt that there are those who are willing to work these types of jobs. I hope that they're paid handsomely. How much money would it take for me to work such a job? Add up all the money everywhere, and that number still isn't large enough.
showboating or mostly fake how many people does it take to line up a few holes and turn some bolts? one, maybe 2. 5 will get in each others way in such a confined area.
no shortage of silly know-nothing ninnies slobbering all over each other in the comments
Showboating or pride in ones work. Notice the five pairs of work boots visible, well worn boots. I might not take six guys to bolt a section together, But I am guessing you have never worked at height either and this is miles ahead of putting together an IKEA table
"...might not take six guys to bolt a section together..." ============ Thanks for agreeing (even though there's only 5). Ever stepped out of a plane at 4000 ft? That's what I thought.
Valmont Spire, looks like the crane for placing segments helped get them all on the top. Pride of work and amazing feat! more pics at: https://www.valmontstructures.com/resources/valmont-structures-project-spotlight/wilshire-grand-center---los-angeles-ca

ReplyDeleteIt's not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop.

ReplyDeleteOn the ground protesting ICE, or for Maduro or khamani or Palestinians or ANYTHING Trump does.
DeleteNot allowed in the union
Deleteohhhhh they are now...

Well you'd be wrong. There are many pics like this.

No. I don't care if they're wearing safety harnesses. No. Just no.
ReplyDeleteMakes me woozy just thinking about it. I hope nobody sneezes.
ReplyDeleteSaw a video of the construction of the arch in St. Louis. Oh no way! No OSHA in those days.
ReplyDeleteit's only 630'
DeleteFearless? How about just plain stupid?

The men that help to build America are anything but stupid.
DeleteI admire people with this sort of guts and talent

ELMO: Pull your condescending head out of your butt. Anyone stupid enough to stand on the tip of a skyscraper and pose for a photo op is insane.
