Once an iron worker, always an iron worker? I would imagine going from creating the skyscraper then to a desk job just wouldn't cut it. Nothing could probably seem as exciting ever.
I was an ironworker (Local 3, Pittsburgh Pa) in the 50’s when we had no safety harnesses, no workman’s comp and when we communicated with the crane by hand signals. I still have my spud wrenches out in the garage.
And thank YOU for your excellent production! People need to know who ironworkers are and what they do. Connecting is the toughest, most dangerous and most important job in all construction.
I'm a Retired Recon Marine, I've fast roped out of helo's, done live fire drills, walked through snake infested swamps, BUT watching these guys makes me nervous, Go Figure, maybe cause i'm older and know better, HA!
The co-ordination of the crews on the ground and up top and the crane operator to organize each piece and communicate with each other so that everything flows seamlessly is amazing. This is teamwork.
I don't think you'd get away without a lanyard/tether on everything in the UK on any sizable job. If you're off the ground at all, lanyard/tether seems to be the rule, 6 or 7 foot drop is fast enough for a tool to hurt, if it catches you Insurance liability, etc, simpler to make a blanket site rule, less arguments. Had a hammer go off the side, from about 10 floors, into the public part of the site. My boss had to conduct bounce tests with a hammer to see how much they went sideways once they hit the floor, how they lost energy.
Kudos to them boys who do that work everyday. Takes alot of balls and courage to do that. Great work ironworkers you guys should be getting paided more than what you make. My hats off to you men
I purposefully passed this new tower for a view. As an engineer, I’m extremely impressed with the massive beams that support this structure. Looks like an inverted pyramid.
New Yorks' skyline is iconic. Even though these guys are tethered to the structure it is still scary as heck and they have no fear of heights. I salute these guys.
I admire people who can work at such heights and build these great buildings. I suffer a lot from a fear of heights. Well, I still like to watch the videos. It's quite spectacular such buildings. LG from Germany.😉😉💖
I can imagine the time and patience as well as the skill of both the drone pilot and the steel workers on this. Saw a news person filming too so must've been a media-coverage day / week. But cool that the construction site would allow it and be open to close-up filming especially high up. Great moments captured in time. Makes me think of the old film we see from when the Chrysler or ESB were being built. Maybe kids 100 years from now will get to look back on this and wonder what our lives were like.
Realmente. Até a porca que o operário colocou sobre a chapa por alguns instantes já me deixou preocupado. Mas essa chave que é pontuda do outro lado tem dupla utilidade e toda tentativa do pessoal de segurança para tê-la amarrada deve ter sido rejeitada pelos operários. Acho que se uma cair o operário pula atrás para pegá-la.
It looks like they are working on a setback, which means anything dropped will only fall 5 or 6 floors to the next level. Most construction has netting around the perimeter to catch objects. Unlike the old days when walking on the street was almost as dangerous as working up there, untethered in the clouds. Safety first, at least in developed countries.
I was terrified when I had to go on a cherry picker supported on the ground, but this guy is on one supported xxx 100s of feet above the ground, just resting on rubber tires, and over the edge with nothing underneath him
They should have it easier too, that was at the time of the depression. Doesn't take much imagination to think what the working conditions were like in 'buyers' market. How many men died then, as die now, how many lives was it worth to put up a building? Saw a documentary with workers from the Empire state, one guy lost a hot rivet over the edge fell on a bus, never heard anything more about it though.
Which is the high of this skycraper? That bellow MetLife is so high, and these of the video more than the double? I passed below in the 270 park av. and this building is so high.
Hey Tony you got your hardhat hat on backwards? You know I do Vito! I'm a cool guy just like you! Plus it voids the OSHA protection so when my head gets hit wit a bolt I can't sue. That's right! We ain't no dummies! Gabba goo and broccoli rabe! Also, just busting balls. Hard work requires hard men. You guys are that and more. Awesome work.
Makes my hands cramp up and sweat from the video quality, it really puts me up there, especially the view down on the streets, i visited nyc for the first time last year, fu@king killer time, i love the place, good video, regards
I work one block from this incredible construction project. How is the one remaining crane removed? Its tower is built on top of the building and not along the side? Is a helicopter required?
Thanks for watching and commenting. Many viewers have stated the same regarding the tools. There was netting all around the area…the Ironworkers in this video were always safety first…real pros!
Big steel BALLS...no freaking way could I even just go up there and look around let alone lean over with heavy tools...props to all those that do this for a living
Acho que o movimento do drone contribui para deixar a coisa mais louca, produzindo vertigem em quem assiste. Imagino que estar lá em cima acompanhando, pisando em algo firme, é absolutamente tranquilo.
Bolter upper crew finishes up after plumbing up the columns. They use air impact wrenches. Except now after the big lay off, the connectors are the bolter uppers too.
This building is a monster, it dominates the skyline now. I'm curious about these window panels though, it seems like you won't be able to see out of most of it, and are those LED strips on the side?
I don’t know why I watch these videos.. all they do is give me sweaty palms
LOL
I literally shut my eyes in places, I kid you not
it makes me nauseous but I can't stop watching 🙃
Pensei a mesma coisa...dá arrepios !🙈🙈
Incredible to watch. Cause there’s no way I could ever do it. Shout out to those iron workers
They world class
@@9mileproductionskoliko je visok?
423 meters
@@9mileproductions nice, thanks 👌✌🏻
There are illegal lattice climber who climb the 2000ft tall guyed towers in the USA, they are even way taller than this skyscraper.
The crane operator has got balls of steel with the job they do.
No, it's just training.
@@supernova4760 I'm going with the Balls of steel comment..
And oh so much patience…. It’s amazing
Like anything else you’re only as good as the people you’re working with
Absolutely. I get scared going up a ladder in my house. These guys are fearless.
The people that do this type of work are a breed apart, hats off to them. Great video.
Thanks for watching! Peace

Men
Drones give such great views of things like this, perspectives we never got in the past.
Retiring from my 40+ construction career (hard)Hats Off to all Iron Workers and Tower Crane Operator(s)!! 👍Well done!
The skill of the builders and those who engineer and design these modern skyscapers should be applauded. What a feat they have accomplished.
that's right 👍
another skyscraper standing tall, straight, and proud.
another skyscraper standing ridiculously tall, straight, and arrogant.

And thank YOU for your excellent production! People need to know who ironworkers are and what they do. Connecting is the toughest, most dangerous and most important job in all construction.
No sense in asking you if you watched the 3 Stooges on the job sight 😅
Thank you for your dedication to the nation. Glad you’re safe and wish you the best! Thank you again Sir.

Thanks for your service friend
11:11 you can see “Last Column 270” written in yellow on the beam. You truly captured a very unique moment. Thanks for sharing! Timeless footage…
WHERE was the American Flag on it???
Respect to these highly skilled daredevils. May they always be safe and sound.
Great job…Amazing… Respect for the construction team. I saw this building during my last visit in NYC in feb. Greetings from 🇵🇱
Glad you enjoyed
Fuuny thing about this new generation of supertalls. They are about as tall as the WTC or Sear Tower in Chicago but only have 60-70 floors.
Higher floor heights command a higher rent. There's also more need for space to hide all the lighting, communications, and hvac
They all deserve a raise 👏 😊
It's amazing how they have a sky lift that high on a unfinished building 😊
Taking care of business up there! Thanks for contributing!
The co-ordination of the crews on the ground and up top and the crane operator to organize each piece and communicate with each other so that everything flows seamlessly is amazing. This is teamwork.
Great comment, thanks for contributing!
Holy moly !!! 😨 These iron workers are on another level. 👏👏👏
Oh yeah…check out the “270 Park after Dark” video
We loved topping out back in my day.... Congrats on yours....
really dont need music
Right Jesus
I kind of like the music 🎶 😊❤🎉
There is a mute button for a reason
15:15 Top music
But the music is nice
I'm surprised that the wrenches do not have a safety strap on them, attached to the workers wrist, in the event that the iron worker drops it.
I don't think you'd get away without a lanyard/tether on everything in the UK on any sizable job.
If you're off the ground at all, lanyard/tether seems to be the rule, 6 or 7 foot drop is fast enough for a tool to hurt, if it catches you

union ironworkers don’t drop their tools. also that’s what the nets are for
My stomach drops and my knees literally get week watching this, but truly great video! Thank you!
Appreciate you
Awesome video quality and Drone piloting. Super steady highly detailed and interesting shots! Awesome POV for us all! Thank you.
great video man , proud to tell people about this profession ,well done .
Appreciate you
They're have a few more levels and touch the airplanes! Great job from all this workers!👏👏👏
Amazing. Very proud to see our Booms on the job too from United Rentals.
GREAT drone work... KUDOS to these iron workers, and that smooth operator.!!!! LOVE this video, THANKS.!!!
Thank you for watching
Those Iron-workers can't be paid enough for the work they do AND accomplish!
Agreed. Thanks for watching

That video made the backs of my legs ache!!! 😃😃😃
U.S.A is the best construction in the world ever ,real glory for ever
Props to you and them boys at the top!
Walked by 270 last week when in the city. Absolutely crazy looking building, especially the base.
It’s an instant classic. Thanks for watching

Thank you for sharing the construction to this beautiful building!!😊😊
Thank you for viewing!
You are welcome. ☺
That footage is amazing, it makes NYC look like a natural rock formation. Amazing bravery from the people who built it!
Appreciate this comment and your viewership!

Omg, balls of steel you guys :) This building is soooo huuuuuge
Mad respect for those guy's! Ball's of steel...no pun intended! 😂😎🇺🇲

So amazing that it is assembled by hand.
I'm surprised the tools aren't tethered somehow. What if that huge spanner got dropped?

I was thinking the exact same thing
I know money isn’t everything but it’s definitely one thing, how much are they paid? My breathing was impacted by just WATCHING 😮 200K plus hazard pay
You never drop anything period.
It looks like they are working on a setback, which means anything dropped will only fall 5 or 6 floors to the next level. Most construction has netting around the perimeter to catch objects. Unlike the old days when walking on the street was almost as dangerous as working up there, untethered in the clouds. Safety first, at least in developed countries.
Is that how you guys build skyscrapers ? It’s absolutely astonishing 😲
Really cool video! Appreciate these workers who build these mighty structures! Nerves of steel!
Glad you enjoyed!
Horrible sound choice😩but good video!
My sincere respects to those workers, you have to have a lot of courage to work at height.

I'm terrified just watching !! I have to admire these guys with nerves of titanium!
The trust they have of each other TEAM WORK
What an amazing job they do
Those connectors are bad ass!
Respect to construction workers...i could not do anything at a place this high up in the air.
GREAT VIDEO !!!!
Appreciate you!
Your fellow brothers who built that city would be proud.. And so I am I...
This is the best comment so far!
On behalf of us Ironworks your welcome!
Amazing structure , this one compliments NYC skyline
The guys who did the empire state building were insane. These iron workers have it so much easier.
They should have it easier too, that was at the time of the depression.
Doesn't take much imagination to think what the working conditions were like in 'buyers' market.
How many men died then, as die now, how many lives was it worth to put up a building?
Saw a documentary with workers from the Empire state, one guy lost a hot rivet over the edge fell on a bus, never heard anything more about it though.
‘These iron workers have it so much easier’…like they up there in penny loafers.
They don't have it easier just safer
As a former iron worker,this looks amazing. And i liked the music
Thanks for watching and commenting…much appreciated
That was a great interview.
This is amazing
Thanks for watching zz
Which is the high of this skycraper? That bellow MetLife is so high, and these of the video more than the double? I passed below in the 270 park av. and this building is so high.
1388ft or 423 meters
Iron workers have more balls than anyone. Holy crap🫣
@@ShawnWitty Of course. What kind of a question is that? If you do the job then it includes all of them.
My admiration for those guys ' especially the Crane operator ' is off the scale. I get dizzy just watching it. 🇮🇪
Nice video. Still LOTS of bolts and nuts, and wrenches and strong arms - no snap-in technology! Pretty homely and solid and satisfying.
Peace
Shouldn’t those hand tools be attached to some sort of lanyard in case it falls?
Incredible talent
How do they prevent bolts and tools from falling? They must fall from time to time being that humans can sometimes accidentally drop things.
Much respect for those guys !
Thanks for watching
The thought of dropping anything from those heights and hurting someone below would hinder me from doing my job properly. Mad respect to you guys.
Hope you enjoyed the vid

I believe it’s disassembled piece by piece with the help of a second smaller crane and brought down by elevator…crazy
Topping out 🌲. Job well done Everyone
Incredible views! Great video
Thanks so much…appreciate you!
Amazing video, How the bloody hell do they get the crane down when they have finished?
They erect a smaller crane and remove the larger in pieces
Is this a 9 Mile Productions video?
Whatever made you think that? Thanks for viewing!
Wow! This is a great video. I was surprised that they don't have leashes on those heavy metal tools!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Many viewers have stated the same regarding the tools. There was netting all around the area…the Ironworkers in this video were always safety first…real pros!

This is interesting and how tall is this new building going to be?
1,388 ft
1,388 ft
Absolutely amazing they can work at those Heights. I’m super scared watching a video. I can’t imagine how scary it would be to drive the crane 🏗️ also
Acho que o movimento do drone contribui para deixar a coisa mais louca, produzindo vertigem em quem assiste. Imagino que estar lá em cima acompanhando, pisando em algo firme, é absolutamente tranquilo.
Actually these iron workers have it better. The guys who worked on the empire State building didn't have lanyards and harness.
Should I drop the music and add specks of the building instead
It is what it is
What a rush watching them work that high up. Respect to the sky walkers
Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate your viewership!
Excellent video. My 3rd choice of trades was structural steel worker. Instaed I became a carpenter/scaffolder.
Cheers
After they hand wrench the bolts what do they do? Fill out the rest of the bolt hole grid? Torque the bolts? Weld?
Add the cross sections, measure everything level…then torque
Bolter upper crew finishes up after plumbing up the columns. They use air impact wrenches. Except now after the big lay off, the connectors are the bolter uppers too.
@bills6946 Thanks. We should design and build more skyscrapers to keep em all employed
Is the camera man standing on the platform providing a video feed for the crane operator?
No…the communication is done by radio
QUE VALOR TENEIS , HACÉIS GRANDE A NEW YORK , BUEN TRABAJO.💪👏
Cool video but the metal music is a bit much
