O'Bama should see this film. It would be a good idea to resurrect the lab as a government funded research lab for development of new technologies communication, navigation, alternative energy, pyshics and chemistry. Bell Labs brought us so many technologies we take for granted in every day life. Maybe the new resurrected lab can develop new technologies our kids and granchildren will take advantage of! New jersey Engineers need the jobs!

Thank you for posting these videos. I am proud to have been able to work there for 13 years (1977-1990). It was a fantastic facility for a great company.

Bell Labs was a national treasure that created the world we live in today. There was nothing like it anywhere in the past or ever again in the future. Even though Bell Labs mission was to support the Bell System, general research was funded and encouraged. There was a room at the Murry Hill Lab that displayed replicas of the 5 Nobel Prizes Bell Labs scientists had won. The entire laboratory is now a rusted rotting hulk. The American people have not realized what was lost.

Thank you for sharing these videos!
I always had a fascination with the Bell System and AT&T, and Bell Labs always had a mystique about it.
In 1993 I worked for a media production company who filmed some videos at Holmdel, and so I got to visit and work with some engineers there. Finally between 1996 and 2000, I worked for AT&T, and my manager was based at Holmdel for a while until Lucent kicked AT&T out. Absolutely fascinating place. So sad that it's abandoned now and its future unknown...
happy trails: I was there recently and it's not rusted or rotting. It's air conditioned and need a cleaning. Let hope someone does the right thing here.
