Fearless construction workers working without any safety equipment, 1925.

@UmarBzv All I see: the capital system trying to cover its disgrace again by calling hardworking people brave whose lives it don’t care about.

@UmarBzv They’re not fearless they have to do it to feed their family

@UmarBzv Mohawk ‘Skywalkers’ Helped Build New York City's Tallest Skyscrapers. Native American riveting gangs worked on the 'high steel' for iconic structures like the Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, Rockefeller Plaza and more.

@UmarBzv Now we are using safety equipments because of these old construction workers who fell and lost their lives .....

@UmarBzv This isn't bravery. This is accepting that big business does not care about your life and forcing yourself to go to work anyway to feed yourself and or your family.

@UmarBzv It is unfortunate to try to make this seem like bravery when in fact it was exploitation. It is hard to find reliable sources of statistics of the death rates on these projects. I would guess that the construction companies involved didn’t want to record them.

@UmarBzv 60% fell.

@UmarBzv That makes my palms sweaty just watching this. Thankfully the world has moved on from this

@UmarBzv Yet someone will say gender equality, these are hardworking men fending for thier families, I respect all gender, but respect to all hardworking men allover the world...

@UmarBzv Hell no. I can’t even walk a balance beam six inches off the floor. I admire the men that built these buildings.
