Wow the smog is disgusting.
Coal…furnaces, ships, trains, etc.
Terrible era to have lungs in.
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.
