The narrator sounds like Joe Rogan.

🙂🥰

Spent a lot of time in the hot strip motor room!

Aaaahhhh! My former home ( retired)

I hope this place is still operating full bore as shown here. Gary, IN has become somewhat of a ghost town despite this huge industrial complex. Our country was once dotted with factories like this, but we let it all slip away.

Conveniently avoided any mention of air pollution created by these processes.

Been there done that arcelormittal/bayou steel. Worked sucked. But worked with some of the best people ya could ever work with

The video doesn't capture the danger of men working on the industrial floor there, lookup: "steel mill cobble".

2014 , wonder if it’s making as much steel today . It’s 2 other liquid steel mills are shut down , Great Lakes and Granite City

Dude was over exaggerating when he said over 50 miles of track for the ceiling cranes lol

It’s May of 2023. I currently work at USS-UPI, formerly POSCO, in Pittsburg, California. We are shutting down this year after over 100 years. I’ve only been here since 2020 but I’m proud to have been part of a mill as historical as this one. RIP Rich Carlson

Inland Steel 1976-2016

Wonder what Gary's capacity is versus Granite City?

Forced/ rehearsed smile @2:15

The Ravenna Arsenal in Ohio, where bombs were made by the millions during WWII was bigger. It covers 25,000 acres, and during the war was home to 15,000 workers. One end of the property was a gigantic railyard where the bombs were loaded and transported to various ports. Today is is largely abandoned, given back to woodland. A few areas are off limits, due to toxic industrial waste.

when tlc was actually the learning channel

I like the narrator whispering, lol

Truly incredible

480p 😮‍💨

I like how they talk about the process of making steel without at all explaining how steel is made.

"a mild 1100 degrees"

They went straight from the blast furnace that makes the iron to the caster and skipped the area that turns the iron into steel. I worked Electronics, Instrumentation and Controls maintenance at the Q-BOP furnace that did that at US Steel Fairfield.

LMAO satans vacation spot 😂😂😂😂😂

I worke at us Gary works 1 caster. Ive seen most of these departments. When I hired in. I was in labor gang. And saw the east and west of US Steel

I flew over this descending to Chicago midway. I was wondering what this plant was

I remember my dad working there.

Driving past the Gary US Steel works on I-80 took several minutes. It was huge!

AWESOME

Very impressive info. for my learning interest especially about Gary, Indiana that I have not visited yet. Thank you, I couldn't believe this is an old YT clip I just came across. 👍✌️

From when The Learning Channel actually was about learning

the incredible shrinking Mill. 1965...25,000 employees. 2021….3,000 employees. it's only a matter of time before USS shuts everything down permanently.

Grandfather worked there and many other family members or U.S STEEL

Thank you coal miners!!

Heavy industrial wowee

Just found this video and enjoyed watching it. I worked 16 years in the 84 inch Hot Strip Mill when I was a youngster. The HSM is one of the best in the world and it brought back many fond memories. Gary Works is the USS flagship plant and they continue to put money into it. I was a control electrician (Motor Inspector) and it is truly amazing what it takes to make the hot rolling process work. I grew up in the Brunswick area of Gary and it saddens me to see how far Gary Indiana has fallen. Hopefully, better days are coming for Gary and it's citizens. I see that my old school, Gary Edison, will be torn down, but at least a new trucking company with jobs is being built on the Edison site.

My grandfather work there and retrired there.

Individual transportation is a huge mistake .

@ 7:10 -- 500 million gpd/ 347k gpm of water. Is Gary Works permitted for this? Better call IDEM.

This is the kind of video we watched in high school when the teacher rolled in the tv /vcr cart.

Why did hearing that this place using 300 years worth of house hold water supplies everyday make me so grossed out.

4:25

Grandfather worked there 25 years from 1955-1980

WE WORK HARD WE PLAY HARD

I have hauled those steel and aluminum coils all over the USA on flatbed for several years.. and I loved them, they are easy loads and usually only get one weighing around 40,000 to 45,000 pounds..tarp it and off you go.

I worked 2 summers at Stelco in the good years but then Us steel bought Stelco and killed it. They only wanted lake Erie works

A cousin of mine use to work there in PUEBLO, COLO, manufacturing, a few different products, like man hole covers, and 1/4 mile rails. I think it's closed for good, they kept closn it and opening it, I've never been there for awhile now. Thanks for sharing this with me 👍

@ old goat So which mill did you work at? And what did you do? I was at the Tube mill across from ye olde Coke plant. I ran a manual tube straightener called a gag press. It feels like a by-gone age.

I wonder if The Late Great Edmund Fitzgerald ever unloaded there ?

I should move back to gary-hammond it's where I belong
