Interesting Henry, there was a TV program here about building large things and how they do it and those steel workers got a mention in one of the shows, apparently back in the earlier times before everything got safety conscious (and litigatious) they used to walk and climb those steel beams putting in rivets without wearing a safety sling hundreds of feet above the ground. Funny how the Mohawks cornered the market doing that dangerous work.
Ah the second story has an indication, $100 an hour isn’t too shabby, but still it’s difficult and dangerous work. See the comments below the story? Where do some people get their ideas from? one said ‘can those steel workers be trusted because the WTC collapsed in 10 seconds after the jet hit it’… meh? 10 seconds? :shock: he must have watched the condensed version, I sat up most of the night watching as I remember trying to get a sense of what was going on, maybe he doesn’t quite understand the temperatures involved with burning Avtur.
And some don’t have an idea of size either, I remember early in the TV commentary at the time with the smoke coming out of the tower in the background that a witness said she saw a small plane hit the building…? Small plane? Maybe they could’ve just sent the window cleaners up to clean the smudge off the windows…a small plane yeah right, how could anyone confuse a jet heavy with a small plane even at a distance? Then the film crew’s footage became available a bit later on.

Those are very nice Sury - I particularly like the hazy, end of day sunlight over the sea. Great stitching when you consider the waves etc.
