Jeannette Furnace Part 1

Video that I took of the former Youngstown Sheet & Tube Brier Hill Works Jeannette Blast Furnace in 1993. This was the last blast furnace standing in Youngstown and was demolished in 1997.

That is a whole bunch of scrap iron. Ironic?

My thoughts are once everybody is a nurse who will be able to afford to pay the high prices from the healthcare industry? They think the steelworkers made alot just check out what Nurses and doctors make. It's more than any typical person without health insurance can afford.

The industrial might was amazing now we have industrial nothing with a large population of young people hoping to get nursing degrees or run cash registers for a living. The politicians have truly destroyed the country.

This reminds me of the old Roman wheat mills that were destroyed. People will look back at us as we have done to Rome. Future generations will look back and ask what happened. Up till my generation America had absolutely every thing and it is all gone for nothing. I am out of place in this day and age. I prefer quality of work and not quantity. I got the hands of a watch maker and the mentality, quality is every thing while quantity is nothing.

I hate to see them wreck the furnace even if it is stop working. It should be a historic place where people can see what people saw a long time ago. ' It looks like the Bethlehem Steel near the Lehigh River''.
