They worked in regular street clothes without any face masks, etc. Wow, incredible how these guys worked so hard and such risks they took. Thank you men for your hard work.
@@ENJAYALLDAY57 I won't work in unsafe conditions. A lot of these brave men suffered long term health affects due to these working condiuton. That's the reason why we have organizations like OSHA.
This is incredible! These men worked so hard!! It looks so dangerous and it is tedious work, an hour and half to inset one segment of each ring!! Ugh, God bless them
This was amazing and makes me feel proud about being an American. The birthplace of the Ford..Dodge..Chevy..and Chrysler. The beautiful minds of those that built this country.
have to admit with the equipment they had back then was ancient...but the tunneling cutter was pretty neat....amazing stuff...thank you for posting this....
This is when America was doing amazing things. In the midst of all sorts of social issues, they did some wonderful projects back then. Sad that our nation has been sold off to the highest bidder, as well as our government. The only way to save this nation is to renovate every single bit of the infrastructure, and hire whoever wants to work at Union wages. No federal BS on who can and who cannot work, let every man and woman work their way out of their financial and social status.
America still does amazing things. Don't claim ignorance look around you the civil engineering projects we do are insane. Look at boston big dig, seattle's big dig, two small but massive examples of mega civil engineering projects America has done.
Nothing gets built today. The NIMBY gang protests, crazy work and union rules make it too expensive, and everything is studied to death and by the time they get through with the red tape the costs have gone through the roof and there's no funds to build the project.
Of course it's ok to raise taxes for all that work and pay people decent wages right? First we can get rid of big government and the first place to start is the military, right?
Did you ever think that I'm those areas where the sound goes out there certain information didn't want you to know look for the original video try the history channel
Great film; I love stuff like this. However when you get a chance find a way to correct the gaps in the narration. It takes away a lot from this great documentary. I could think of a few ways to do it. If you don’t have the skill set find someone who does or RU-vid it. I look forward to seeing the next new and improved version of (bullhorns at the ready) “Conquest on the Hudson”. Love it.
i believe the narrator is speaking the truth when talks about the number of cars traveling through the holland tunnel looking at those cars from the 20s 30s that's all most a hundred years this film looks like it was made about 1930 something the sound quality appears to be fading with age in those days that camera was the newest technology available
One day people will figure out if we stop making so many new people we won't have to constantly "grow." I do love seeing the city as I enter the tunnel.
This came from a VHS tape that had the film on it. Due to the age of the film and soundtrack, as well as damaged/lost frames and/or audio transfer issues (whether it be from film to videotape, videotape to digital, or possibly both; maybe a corrupted audio file?), some parts of the audio portion are silent, while some parts of the video portion may freeze up (eg. the opening titles).
Whoever uploaded should have mentioned about the sound track or other issues to us re loss of audo 50/50% of the time and not go off and hide into obscurity!.
+Reggie Milla (Far Roc's Finest) What do you know about the selection of workers? Your comment suggests that you assume racial discrimination; however, I suspect you have no knowledge of who applied and what qualifications were required. That was dangerous work and many died in the process. Would you be happier if more had dark skin, or are you just taking an opportunity to whine and vilify? I suspect the latter. Here's an idea: Piss away the rest of your life trying to change the past. Many of us - grownups - will invest our time and effort learning about things like mutual respect and individual dignity, irrespective of skin color. While we're at it we'll appreciate the enormous effort and sacrifice of men and women of all human skin color in building, feeding and protecting this fine country. But you go on pissing and moaning; wallowing in victimhood - not cool.
