Try watching this with the There Will Be Blood soundtrack over it for the horrifying story of the transformation of our landscape in the name of greed...

Very amazing Film! It shows how oil was processed before the modern distillation towers rose... and it was a well sophisticated technology about 100 years ago!

Wow, you talk about rough and dangerous working conditions! OSHA would have a conniption fit if these conditions existed today. Very interesting film, thanks for posting.
