https://www.history.com/news/mohawk-skywalkers-ironworkers-n... [warning: auto-play video] It is an interesting history of the Mohawk ironworkers who built NYC. I came across another exhibit once that said that the ironworkers originally took the jobs because, culturally, they appreciated the risk and heroism, and then it became a tradition of the tribe. In fact, it was probably this risk tolerance that kept them working without harnesses and lifelines for as long as they did. At the end of the above article, it says that 30-50 ironworkers still die each year. |
