Wow the smog is disgusting.
Coal…furnaces, ships, trains, etc.
Terrible era to have lungs in.
He’s not on the unfinished Empire State Building because the finished building is behind him.
Looks like something in midtown. Maybe Rockefeller Building?
Well that’s terrifying.
This is how workers built those skyscrapers–with zero safety devices. 5 workers died building the Empire State Building and 60 workers died building the World Trade Centre. These buildings had several thousands of workers so the death rate was just 1%-2% which was deemed acceptable. A handful of workers dying while something was being built was just expected before unions and safety regulations changed that.
