$3BN Skyscraper Reaches the Top! JPMorgan Chase Building, 270 Park Avenue, New York City 

LOL

I literally shut my eyes in places, I kid you not

They world class

@@9mileproductions nice, thanks 👌✌🏻

There are illegal lattice climber who climb the 2000ft tall guyed towers in the USA, they are even way taller than this skyscraper.

No, it's just training.

@@supernova4760 I'm going with the Balls of steel comment..

And oh so much patience…. It’s amazing

Like anything else you’re only as good as the people you’re working with

Absolutely. I get scared going up a ladder in my house. These guys are fearless.

Thanks for watching! Peace

Once an iron worker, always an iron worker? I would imagine going from creating the skyscraper then to a desk job just wouldn't cut it. Nothing could probably seem as exciting ever.

Agreed. Thanks for watching

WHERE was the American Flag on it???

Glad you enjoyed

You have my respect and every man you see in this video also has your respect. Have a good one!

And thank YOU for your excellent production! People need to know who ironworkers are and what they do. Connecting is the toughest, most dangerous and most important job in all construction.

another skyscraper standing ridiculously tall, straight, and arrogant.

Appreciate you

Thank you LG…for watching and commenting!

Right Jesus

I kind of like the music 🎶 😊❤🎉

There is a mute button for a reason

15:15 Top music

Hey, from Local 3 ironworker, Pittsburgh, back in the 50s.

I don't think you'd get away without a lanyard/tether on everything in the UK on any sizable job. If you're off the ground at all, lanyard/tether seems to be the rule, 6 or 7 foot drop is fast enough for a tool to hurt, if it catches you Insurance liability, etc, simpler to make a blanket site rule, less arguments. Had a hammer go off the side, from about 10 floors, into the public part of the site. My boss had to conduct bounce tests with a hammer to see how much they went sideways once they hit the floor, how they lost energy.

I was thinking the same thing too. I would think there might be a torque specification to tighten to. Maybe done later?

Cross sections connect to the columns, check everything is level, then torque.

@@9mileproductions I'm just guessing based on videos, but it looks like they hand tighten just a few to secure the beam. They then weld the majority. Relying on only tightened threads for decades doesn't seem right. That's not a solid connection.

Thank you for viewing!

You are welcome. ☺

Thank you for watching

Thank you Organized

It’s an instant classic. Thanks for watching

Great comment, thanks for contributing!

Hope you enjoyed the vid

Glad you enjoyed!

Cheers

What does God and America have to do with it?

Thank you

Appreciate this comment and your viewership!

They should have it easier too, that was at the time of the depression. Doesn't take much imagination to think what the working conditions were like in 'buyers' market. How many men died then, as die now, how many lives was it worth to put up a building? Saw a documentary with workers from the Empire state, one guy lost a hot rivet over the edge fell on a bus, never heard anything more about it though.

‘These iron workers have it so much easier’…like they up there in penny loafers.

Appreciate you!

Acho que o movimento do drone contribui para deixar a coisa mais louca, produzindo vertigem em quem assiste. Imagino que estar lá em cima acompanhando, pisando em algo firme, é absolutamente tranquilo.

Actually these iron workers have it better. The guys who worked on the empire State building didn't have lanyards and harness.

Thanks for your viewership, appreciate you

Thanks so much…appreciate you!

True.

Wait a minute. I want to take that back. All in all, the music fit this video really well.

This is what I thought, thank you!

It's amazing how they have a sky lift that high on a unfinished building 😊

Taking care of business up there! Thanks for contributing!

Thanks for watching and commenting…much appreciated

@@ShawnWitty Of course. What kind of a question is that? If you do the job then it includes all of them.

Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate your viewership!

That’s fair. If you could replace, what music would you choose?

Realmente. Até a porca que o operário colocou sobre a chapa por alguns instantes já me deixou preocupado. Mas essa chave que é pontuda do outro lado tem dupla utilidade e toda tentativa do pessoal de segurança para tê-la amarrada deve ter sido rejeitada pelos operários. Acho que se uma cair o operário pula atrás para pegá-la.

I was thinking the exact same thing

I know money isn’t everything but it’s definitely one thing, how much are they paid? My breathing was impacted by just WATCHING 😮 200K plus hazard pay

You never drop anything period.

It looks like they are working on a setback, which means anything dropped will only fall 5 or 6 floors to the next level. Most construction has netting around the perimeter to catch objects. Unlike the old days when walking on the street was almost as dangerous as working up there, untethered in the clouds. Safety first, at least in developed countries.

Appreciate you

Cheers

Thanks for watching

TY

Thanks for watching and commenting. Many viewers have stated the same regarding the tools. There was netting all around the area…the Ironworkers in this video were always safety first…real pros!

The work is hard enough now imagine wearing a 50 lb tool belt all day.

What power tools were you expecting?

They use an impact gun to tighten the nuts. They are only putting a few bolts in each plate so they can say all the steel is up. When they fill the rest of the bolts they will tighten everything down with an impact gun.

All the other beams for that level will have to go in, before all the bolts are inserted and the whole thing checked for level. In the UK we'll use 'come along's' as you call them, cross crossed over the deck to pull it all true. Used to have some honking great air guns, years ago to tighten bolts up. Dangerous gear, scared of ripping muscles and tendons the way they'd kick when they'd tighten up.

@@georgechickful In Canada we used a cable puller called a TirFor.

Thanks for watching zz

This is the best comment so far!

Nice comment, thanks for watching and contributing!

Thanks for your undoubtedly accurate sociological observation about the kind of men women prefer nowadays; I'm sure you interviewed dozens of women to reach your conclusion

Thanks for watching…appreciate you

I guess there’s no audience for my content

@@9mileproductions the sheep are unhinged. This is grade A prime content that every American should watch.

Thanks so much!

I apologize for that…
