  • wow as a traesman i can really apreciate the strentght and courage these men did to support there familys,much respect .

  • Those guys were obviously born to do that (I hope thats the case), it made me ache just looking at those pics. Damn crazy for me, just another days work for them. Thanks for posting.

  • why would anyone not like this this this is a great video thanks...

  • este super trebuia sa ai curaj sa lucrezi asa fara asigurare emigranti au facut totul an sua si pe preturi ff mici fara asigurari de sanatate si de accidente? ok the best

  • La mitad de estos trabajadores eran indios americanos, la otra mitad emigrantes que tenían que comer y aceptaban cualquier trabajo. Todos tenían dos cosas en común, no tenían vértigo y tenían los cojones cuadrados para hacer lo que hacían.

  • What a stomach these ironworkers had ! Jesus!

  • now you have to be tied off if you're on a 6' ladder. no lie.

  • The death rate must enormeous so I guess the union was just a joke at that time

  • I don't know what kinda lives you have...BUT it sure isn't ORDINARY!

  • Those of you who dislikes this sure are afraid of heights ;)

  • real way of life !

  • i heard there is a movie a bout this

    pls, does anyone know how its called??

  • WOAH! these guys are brave to actually stand on a building with no flooring and still under constrution i would be pretty sceared

  • I have the pic at 2:42 on my wall!

  • this is epic!

  • Thank you for paying tributeto the chronicler of my trade. Those were the days before the insurance industry tried to tell you how to do your job. All ironworkers have his photos.

  • Just watching them stand there with no harnass is too unnerving to watch... I feel like I am gonna have nightmares in my sleep ronight hehehe

  • @WinstonKing Harnesses are for bitchasses!

  • @iantripps YOu say bitchasses like its a bad thing.

  • These hard working guys remind me of my grandpa, they were definitely a different breed of men than most we have these days. Great work by Charles Ebbets.

  • Wonderful Tribute!!!...awesome pics!!!

  • AWESOME! THANK YOU!!

  • Brilliant!

  • Hell no!!!! What stopped the dropped tools and lunch scraps from hitting the ground? I'd hate to be on the ground after a lunch and a bug jug of water.

  • Magnifique video! J'ai rassenti des vertiges!!!

  • Unforgetable pictures on unforgetable music!!

    wonderful vidéo!

    congratulations!

  • love the videos - hate the fascination of watching them. If the skyscrapers had to rely on me building them, Im afraid Manhattan would have looked like a plain!

  • AWESOME Vibes ol' buddy, and the images,....ohhh-boy,....can be quite a dizzy spell,....whew,...if one's scared of heights, this isn' the job for him/her!!! lol...Thumbs up to ya Pablo and thankin' ya for the GREAT share! = )

  • AMAZING i can't believe there are peolple taht acctually did that i couldn't have done that not even if i was drunk... two thumbs up

  • lunchtime atop a skyscraper.... NYC,,,,, RCA bldg...... great vid,...local 7 boston

  • amazing is all i can say wow!

  • I`m gripping the arms of my chair

  • man I am scared of heights and watching this is like taking a rollercoaster ride !!

    hihihi :D

  • the man on the far left of the beam is my great granduncle Matty O'Shaughnssy..

  • I'd imagine that you'd have greater incentive to get along with your coworkers at this job!

  • all i can think of the 3 stooges eating rivots for lunch on a skyscraper being built!

  • I did a very little bit of rock climbing many years ago and loved it. Nothing like being up high for a thrill.

    These photographs scare the hell out of me. I get shivers up and down my back just thinking about it.

  • Just fabulous!

  • Fantastic video!

    Anyone know anything about the pic at 1:30? It goes perfectly with the music because it looks like they are all playing harmonicas!

  • OOooooOO These shots give me the "willies" - but I can't stop watching 'em!

    Great tribute. Always wondered who took these depression era shots. 5**

  • i am an ironworker wife and love ebbetts work. ironworkers are one of a kind and this video does them justice. and creampuff they do that and more, osha is not always around. i know.

  • !!! OUTSTANDING !!!

  • Lunch atop a skyscraper!!!

  • Obviously a day loooong before OSHA Safety Standards came into play. I highly doubt that you'll see skyscraper workers of today tiptoe on crossbeams 700 feet above the ground without safety harnesses!

  • This vid gives me goos pimples and i would be scared first times to do this kind of work but i know i would get accustomed and like it.

  • yes

  • bun video 5*****,saludos desde canfranc

  • Love This!

    And my bros!!

    The Mohawks who built the highest of NYC!!!

    and took it apart when it fell down...

  • whhhhhhhooooooooaaaaa man insane

  • truly crazy...those guys did not make enough money more than likely. I'll ride any rollercoaster from any height, but.... wow.

    On a negative aspect, it does show the concrete and steel jungle--lacking any sort of natural life and greenery, imo. a void.

    Great pics. 5*
