You young punks are no more than vandals and trespassers not curious about the making of steel or what your forbears went through to secure a modern future for you. Perhaps you should've fallen down the shaft. Big thumbs down! Go back to school; maybe you'll be janitors skilled enough in cleaning up a plant! If you're lucky! You can't even break a window!
I enjoyed this video up until 6:00 when one of you assholes started trying to smash a window with a brick. I wonder what else you clowns tried to destroy that didn't get into the video!
I worked there 1973-74, send me a PM if you wish. Can you tell that all this huge plant, however awesome, was well past its use-by date? Could not compete with foreign steel and Nucor. BS was like a cow that people were all too happy to milk but that no one was willing to feed. Last pour in 1994, plant closed in 1998, BS bankrupt 2001. 3 most modern mills sold to Mittal, this and 17 other plants abandoned. The 20th century is over.
Much of what you see here has already been transformed into the "Artsquest campus". (In front of the blast furnaces) Quite different now. 1/27/2001
