Electricians working on Effiel Tower, 1937.
I would have to pass on this job.

I'd starve before I had to take a job like THAT. SCARY !!

 

[SifuPhil]

Those wonderful days before safety regulations ... I'd have to take a pass as well. I'd rather sell baguettes in the rough part of town ...

I wonder what the climbers make per hour? It would have to be a lot, considering how much of their lifespans would be shortened by anxiety alone. :wave:

I'll share a family story about heights. My pop was a civil engineer with NY State & climbed many a ladder & walked many a beam in his time. One time my father was working & Mom was in a dentist office 5th floor right across the street with a good view. Suddenly my mother lets out a scream, & the dentist drops everything. "Oh Annie, did I hurt you? I'm so sorry! " and sha says no, you didn't hurt me, I just saw my husband walking on a beam right across from us! On 5th floor of the building being built.
