mike oreilly is my uncle and as his only niece i must say im very proud of him especially after going through what my family did after my grandfather had fell. very proud of my family and the mark they left.
He isn't your uncle lol I've seen other stories about Mike and his family and you were not mentioned one single time. No need to try and get fame from a YT comment 😂
@@cunicularium5424 doesn't realize how deep family lines go, his little potty brain cannot comprehend such a subject. It hurts him to even imagine, in fact, he had to be rushed to the ICU after writing his comment by straining his brain too hard.
I’ve spent my whole life in construction as a pipefitter and I have nothing but respect and admiration for these guys. This video was shot during good weather. Imagine what it’s like with a 25 mile an hour wind and temperatures below freezing. My hat is off to them.
My fathers been an ironworker for 35 years, and although i didnt follow in his footsteps I have nothing but respect for my old man. To me he is the bravest person on planet earth. Repsect to ironworkers
I'm a NYC window cleaner 30 years. Mike, Tommy it wasn't all for nothing. Your dad's are part of the history of the greatest city in the world. I watch you guys at work and you are a special breed, God bless be safe.
Local 63 Chicago punk here. Hard hats off to you boys in New York. I cannot imagine having to go to work with all that trauma in the back of your heads every day. You guys make me proud to do what i do.
As a scaffolder I tie off to the steel structure. As ironworkers they install the steel structure, takes a lot of balls to be an iron worker. Keep up the good work boys.
@@dagnrl215 you can get in through your local Carpernters union. IronWorkers don’t take on scaffolding anymore well at least not in Northern California
Retired Union Electrician here Local #3 NYC! Worked many jobs in WTC over the years! Nothing but respect and admiration for these guys! A few family members are Union Iron Workers in NYC, great guys and salt of the earth people. Proud to have these guys in the family! FJB!
Much respect for what you boys do. I'm in the sprinkler fitters Union 542 in Pittsburgh. I got a few buddies that are iron workers here for local 3. Much respect to my fellow union brothers.
I always wanted to be an ironworker when I grew up ... at some point in my life. I am proud to say I achieved that goal and can count myself among the best class of workers in the world. If the money was better than what I make now, I'd still be an ironworker.
I’ve worked on jobs all over NYC since I Immigrated here from Ireland, seen everything possible , but when you have 60 plus trade specialists working a Job together, you admire and appreciate each man’s craft and Grit , But me personally hold NYC Iron workers in Special Floor to themselves, Look up and live" one of the best workplace saftey slogans ive ever heard, I appreciate and I respect the Titans of our City , our Ironworks especially the old school legends from Newfoundland and the rest of Canada , we owe every single admiration too the Little Caughnawaga people, the Mohawk people are role models to me personally, God Bless The Men of Steel!!!
You can tell before coffee break if an apprentice IW is gonna cut it or not. Everyone's watching. Much respect to all Union IWs. Retired from L 625 since 2005
Retired Local 405 Philadelphia. Thanks for all those before me, those with me and those ahead of me for giving me the living I made and the retirement I am now enjoying.
Thank you to all the men and women that risk their lives every day doing what they love and building our country I always wanted to be a structural welder I got really sick last January Im hoping that I can at least do it. On the ground in a Warehouse building the beams or anything like that I had a construction background I did construction of 10 years framing Roofing all kinds of stuff I love the heights but ever since I got sick I'm very dizzy light-headed so I don't think I'll ever be able to do that but you never know thank you again for all you men women out there that keep on building our world
Years ago I got a chance to ride a hoist up 10 floors to deliver construction plans. Ofcourse I was on a safe floor ,but I seen the workers on the floors and I could not believe how they could do what they did,day in and day out. The courage, dedication and great spirit they have everyday
Great footage of a few connectors building a part of history. It's not everyday that one can say they've helped build such a project. And for those pecking at the ironworkers for wearing safety harnesses, you've obviously never worked on a "BIG" job before - it's required! Stick to the "little" jobs if you don't like wearing them.
I'm an Ironworker 433 Las Vegas and I had my high school prom in WTC "98". Mike O'Reilly, your pop built one of the most famous buildings the world has ever seen. Just because 9/11 happened, doesn't hide the fact that it was built, it was there and he along with our brothers made that happen.
I’ve fallen 2 floors onto concrete. It’s sore let me tell you. But thanks to Paddy, he bent back the high tensile steel concrete starting bars I fell onto that morning. As he said to me, “I thought they were a bit dangerous at that position”
My grandfather fell off of what is now best buy. 27ft. Shattered his leg and really fucked up his back. And that was the same thing he said after he fell.. "Give me a cigarette".. crzy
Guys are at a whole other level Risk taking Skills Team work Trusting one another High morale/enthusiastic for the build Truly america isnt america witho iron workers just as teachers, police, inventors, the wealthy, the preachers, farmers, cooks, drivers, military, etc etc etc. These guys are the real deal
The Iron didn't hurt your Father.. His ego did. I'm a Journeyman Ironworker. Your Fathers "type" is what get people like him, and others he pushes, hurt.. Trying to be the "pusher", tough guy, hero, etc..
