It was irresponsible for you to use a sound track that was not authorized by WMG and it was irresponsible to claim to have no agenda when you did and your choice of music showed it. However, It is a craying shame the blight and waste which can be traced to the leftwing/liberial/progreesives which cuase plants to close.
@Tabooga65 of course, it has nothing to do with the corporations who want to squeeze every single cent of profit they can out of a factory. where did this plant move its production to? probably mexico or china or india. don't blame the left wingers or the liberals. blame the greedy capitalists.
I worked on the real estate valuation of that site in 1990. I remember the site was polluted and clean-up costs were estimated at $58 million offsetting any value of the real estate by $58 million. The plant had a discharge station at the Niagara River that pumped treated water into the Niagara River. Its 2006 and only now is the clean up coming to a conclusion. Life changes, we come and go, jobs come and go, try holding on this anything and all you will feel is pain. Peace.
Nothing sad about it! Polluted site being cleaned-up. Plant was constructed in 1900 and is no long functional and was discharging crap into the Niagara River for decades. Polluted entire area. Upon completion of clean-up will be dismantled and hauled away. Cost $58 million to clean-up.
actually 1911. the loss of 2500 jobs should always be seen as regretable and sad. todays society is not based on community as that that built and operated plants like spaulding fibre. today they come and go before an associate can earn any substantial vacation or retirement. i doubt there was any serious irreversible pollution from the cellulose in vulcanized fiber.
addendum: worked in rag (cotton rag) paper mill. rag paper was made into vulcanized fibre. vulcanized fibre uses are now filled by synthetic plastics made from petroleum. somehow cellulose from rag paper seems greener as source of material items. with respect to cycles or recycle and rag paper:
brilliant photographs! looks amazing.

@kane531 I know this is late but as of the time this video was posted it was only 9 years that this factory had been shut down.

Nice, but videos look massively unprofessional when they use poor grammar in the intro sequences. It's as if you capitalized every other noun.
I'm glad the old ruin is finally coming down.
