This is fantastic! What a wonderful thing! Upvote!
hybridjosto
This gives me anxiety
LivingDeadX
That's about 70 stories of nope right there.

Health and safety probably had a heart attack
megsovereasy
The original photo has always made me queasy.
godamongspeds
God this shit makes me nervous

Um... no
RepostFromLastWeek
Its this the same kind of setup like that rock in Brazil or where ever?

Roysearle
Fuck that
Mikehancho17
Notice the boots in the newer picture. Flat sole, no defined heal =iron worker boots. Fyi
khazaria
They sure got fatter
ReptarCrunch
I would be vigorously shitting myself. Harness or not.
NotifyThemSteveDave
Times have changed; guys on the left replaced a cigarette with a cellphone (clever) and the guy on the right replaced alcohol with a water.
previoustopcomment
No way of telling what that can is, but its not beer; beer cans weren't developed till a year after the photo was taken.
hernameisri0
Saw this picture and immediately realized I was lying a little too close to the edge of my bed.
slamnuggets
Holy shit my feet immediately started sweating.
Atomsk
They all deserve a pat on the back. Wait, staph! Not now! Okay, we're hiring now...
Leaolyn
My brother-in-law is in this pic!
AmiewithanIE
That's cool! When was it taken? I want to share it with my dad. He is in local 17 Cleveland, OH.
TheCutestNeckbeard
It would be hard for me to eat at that elevation, considering I’d be vomiting in terror.
00ImBatman00
This gives me crazy anxiety
grandtheftavocado
It's likely a perspective shot.
Bravacado
No. But it was staged.
storebrandproductmascot
A few shots of liquor will take the edge off and make things safer!
OctopusJebus
No no no thqt high up i wouldnt want to take the edge off, what if i'm standing on the edge?
storebrandproductmascot
Well the good news is you won't be standing on the edge for long.
welcometothetoaster
Everything about these photos makes me uncomfortable
hmzzz
Strong guys and iron beams?
ISawWhatYouSaw
Is it perspective but modern crew look to be at a much lower elevation? Maybe that was the limit of the safety platform out of shot.
superbadonkey
OR perhaps the building they are building isn't as tall.
counterfeitdreams
The buildings in the modern picture are probably a lot taller than the ones in the original picture. So the point of reference is different
atleastfourcharactersinlength34
They gown die at either height
qweesdy
In another 85 years, they might finish that building!
cyanidkatharsis
Not if the steel union has anything to do with it.
McMasterx
PlotTwist, it's the same building. They just had it moved.
HowDidIGetNaked
My feet got all tingly just seeing that.
Solivoid
I actually started feeling a bit dizzy, ugh.
MonetaryMickey
And they have harnesses. Pussies.
usersubbordercontrol
I'd only be up there if I had a harness. If I didn't, I'd be wearing Brown pants

r3dl8dy
Compared to the first guys, they're barely off the ground!
TristanBomb
They don't look like they're connected to anything, though.
KowalskiThePenguin
None in the bottom photo are wearing hard hats or harnesses...someone call osha on them
Barbarian90001
@OP Does it disturb anyone else that these are all still White Males?
Bernie2020WILLHAPPEN
Nice bait
myteetharedryyyyy
Someone call proto osha!
FysyxIsHere
Yeah we'll just send osha to the graveyard to issue the fines, see how well that one goes...
dogenuggets
One's not even wearing a shirt!
samsonguy920
I like that the crew in the top bit are wearing hard hats, and even adopted them to make them their own. Meanwhile, the crew working on >
samsonguy920
> the building next door to my work don't even know what a hard hat is.
TheSwedishCryptid
Well, they did a test. A hard hat broke from a fall of 300meters but a cap didn't! So that means it's stronger! (Old joke about Norwegians)
12rt2345g342563
Back then they just died with alarming frequency.
HoboStabWound
Back then it was called OSHIT.
TeamToasterNeverForget
The bottom photo also wasn't taken in front of a blue screen..
Fifthredemption
The hell are you talking about?
TeamToasterNeverForget
not sure.. maybe the fact that multiple members are resting their feet on the ground
Fifthredemption
That's the I-Beam they're resting their feet on you peanut.
sarasateboy
Do you really need a hat at that height!
StayClassyPonyBoy
As soon as you walk onsite
SeriousCloud
If a falling bolt hits you in the head and knocks you off you do.
Enaluxeme
If a falling anything hits you in the head there's a good chance you're gonna fall anyway
Cosmogonic
*you did
beaubrent
You are thousands of feet in the air, what is a hard hat gonna do unless it comes with a parachute button?
fantasticlight
The hat isn't for the fall but for general safety of things landing on your head.
beaubrent
Bit pointless without some kind of cable to stop you falling, no?
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
It isn't about the fall, it's a out someone dropping equipment from above by accident..
fantasticlight
It is a general safety thing being on a construction site. They aren't always, if ever, working from a suspended steel beam.
cacambo
Wtf is the top group clipped onto??
OperationBusterJangle
They're tied off to beam clamps hidden behind them
thecheesedip
My guess would be they ran a line behind the I-beam solely for this photo.
LucifersSonSATAN
Lol hope or air because I can’t see anything. Wouldn’t catch me up there. Hell no
HereAndSortaQueer
they're titanium balls
BklynPunisher
Should be brass since it’s heavier.
HereAndSortaQueer
fuck! i mean their...daamn it...
Armin2015
TheCigarGuy
They are a lot fatter !
Telharmonius
That bottom pic was probably from the Great Depression. They were glad to have jobs, tho OSHA didn't exist then.
gewalt
because high risk construction work is now a very good paying job, as opposed to the depression where only the starving would do it
ColourBlindMillwright
Counterweights.
SJohnson23
Fun fact - they’re mostly immigrants. Irish and Swedish.
CornChunks
It could also be the thicker clothing and the bigger girder.
doctorbees
Not to mention work boots aren't exactly slender shoes.
heghmoh
We all did
KillerHeels
They used to pick men off the streets of new york to work. Dying was common on the site there would literally be people waiting outside 1/2
KillerHeels
To get a day of work for their families. Also men today have safer work place and are strong af 2/2
thefrayedendsofsanity
puppyflips
And a lot lower
AManWoman
I don't think they are, buildings in middle ground are probably also very tall so perspective is different. Look at buildings in background
jfksghost
There is a sort of behind the photo of the older picture that shows a platform under them
ThrobbinHoodz
With a lot more safety gear (which is good) fall at that height is gonna have the same result as one at the first height
ucantusemyname
Probably but they are all wearing sweaters or long sleeves
SpecialProjectY
Softshell, wind-resistant coats and so on. Work safety went up pretty high, you use to bring own tools to work...
ucantusemyname
Used to? This summer i worked hvac for a bit and had to bring my own from home.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
Food scarcity isn't such an issue now days
WurstWaterr
in America*
CycloneSP
actually, it's that most of the ready made foods we eat are jam packed with sugar instead of fat.
beleginwaffle
Packed with lots of tax payer subsidized corn, (corn syrup) and soy as well.
PAPASQUATT
It will be
OfficialSponsor
...In the year 2000...
BreakingRad
Well that's ominous
vauhtihirmu
Hey, they're just saying what climate change and the oil crises will do.
PAPASQUATT
There is a new doc out called wasted. About how bad food industry is wasting food instead of composting it. And animals that also taste...
stew1
on the contrary, "food like products" are abundant but food not so much
Shovi
Wtf, stop talking shit. Food like products would just be wax models of food. The rest is still food, even if you don't agree it's healthy.
MetalMil
I think they are mixing whole foods with food. Anything that gives you energy is food. Especially on times of scarcity.
stew1
actually please type more to prove to all of us how stupid you are... it's entertaining
Shovi
Again with the personal attack, nice. You are quite the wonderful person to talk to.
stew1
bet you weigh like 500lbs lol
doctorbees
Someone sounds insecure.
Shovi
I'm quite slim actually. I didn't say i eat that, i just said it was still technically food.But good job making a personal attack.
ThisIsImpressive
not true in America theirs a lot of artificial shit on the market, Kraft american cheese isn't even real cheese
doctorbees
But it is still food.
Shovi
It's still food, even if it's not real cheese. You eat it and it gives you energy? It's food.
