  • Look in the mirror you democrat pricks as to why this happened, how many NPR stations have you got in pittsburgh now, how many green organic soy milk jobs do you idiots think it will take to replace this, you morons bankrupted the company with your union demands and now you're bankrupting the country with the same me, my, mine, mentality, the worst part is you dumbasses will never figure out who the problem is....look in the mirror..democrat voting morons.

  • It;s very impressive,working in such an environment might have been scary.

  • my great grandad worked in the mills

  • My father and my ex-husband both worked in the mills in Braddock and Homestead, PA. Loved this video. I would listen to their stories, but never got to see some of the things they were talking about. GO STEELERS.

  • wow thanks for doing this video

  • I just like to say i would like to see the Carrie Furnace before it is gone.. other than that for the guest and staff of the vid "have a nice Holidays from Jay and Joss

  • The ghost of the now defunct USA and American economy. Thanks congress

  • This is the ghost of the U.S. economy. It can be found in brown fields all over the nation. The jobs are gone and now no economy. How is anybody suprised by that other than the half wits in congress who have no brains. The communist that protect their jobs loan us money.

Sad that the communist who protect their jobs are doing so well now they loan our broke free market supporting government money.

  • A great tribute to the common working man. Exploited by their employers, then thrown on the scrap heap when Asians would work for less.

  • I would have loved to see a tour of this anyday! My grandparents both worked in the mills.. My one grandfather worked as a big boss in the remaining USS Irvin Plant, and my other pap working in the National Tubes steel mill in McKeesport, and how my neighbor was a big boss in the USS Clairton Works. I've always loved learning about the United State Steel's numerous plants around the Pittsburgh area. shame they are now all but gone for us to never see again. Thank you for a piece like this.

  • This just goes to show what greedy corporate jerks have done to this country. Steel mills keep closing or selling to the over seas competition and then closing. I lost my job as a dispatcher at Weirton stell thanks to ISG. My uncles lost their pension and the comunity lost a tax base. While they were in bankruptcy and negatiating with ISG, a federal judge approved their bonuses. Rewarded for running the mill into the ground. This video breaks my heart......

  • aht standing n'at ain't nothing like seeing a tour by a real pittsburger talkin in da pickburghese, my grandpap worked dahn ere on the brick gang in da 50's n'at

  • Great piece!! This is exactly what my old man used to describe when talking about his work "down at da plant." But here in Duluth, MN, there's nothing left standing from the US Steel plant - just a huge empty space and a boarded up, crime-filled neighborhood. So to see this mill up close brings back a lot of memories!
