This is when America was doing amazing things. In the midst of all sorts of social issues, they did some wonderful projects back then. Sad that our nation has been sold off to the highest bidder, as well as our government. The only way to save this nation is to renovate every single bit of the infrastructure, and hire whoever wants to work at Union wages. No federal BS on who can and who cannot work, let every man and woman work their way out of their financial and social status.

Nothing gets built today. The NIMBY gang protests, crazy work and union rules make it too expensive, and everything is studied to death and by the time they get through with the red tape the costs have gone through the roof and there's no funds to build the project.

@@CowboyLou69 Union rules? Lol Fuck you man construction is challenging and dangerous. Workers deserve to be compensated. Before you go around touting nonsense that I'm paid to much to sit in a box hundreds of feet above my coworkers heads swinging concrete and steel efficiently and precisely all while avoiding an always potential catastrophic and deadly disaster, look at some of these people who get paid what I make to fucking work in HR and read emails all day about how Susan and Karen cant get along.

Great film; I love stuff like this. However when you get a chance find a way to correct the gaps in the narration. It takes away a lot from this great documentary. I could think of a few ways to do it. If you don’t have the skill set find someone who does or KZfaq it. I look forward to seeing the next new and improved version of (bullhorns at the ready) “Conquest on the Hudson”. Love it.

@pm41224 7 жыл бұрын

This came from a VHS tape that had the film on it. Due to the age of the film and soundtrack, as well as damaged/lost frames and/or audio transfer issues (whether it be from film to videotape, videotape to digital, or possibly both; maybe a corrupted audio file?), some parts of the audio portion are silent, while some parts of the video portion may freeze up (eg. the opening titles).

+Reggie Milla (Far Roc's Finest) What do you know about the selection of workers? Your comment suggests that you assume racial discrimination; however, I suspect you have no knowledge of who applied and what qualifications were required. That was dangerous work and many died in the process. Would you be happier if more had dark skin, or are you just taking an opportunity to whine and vilify? I suspect the latter. Here's an idea: Piss away the rest of your life trying to change the past. Many of us - grownups - will invest our time and effort learning about things like mutual respect and individual dignity, irrespective of skin color. While we're at it we'll appreciate the enormous effort and sacrifice of men and women of all human skin color in building, feeding and protecting this fine country. But you go on pissing and moaning; wallowing in victimhood - not cool.
