That is amazing, back breaking work and dangerous, I like it when some people say u can't do that kind of work by hand u need excavator, dozer, dump truck, I look at that.

“Decades later” That’s definitely a good amount of work for excavation

Not pronounced Hoo-SAC, pronounced Hoosic
@TrinityCourtStudios2 жыл бұрын
Incorrect. It is pronounced “Who-sack” for the tunnel. The Hoosic River is a different pronunciation: “who-sick”

I came to the comments to correct his terrible pronunciation. So glad people are beating me to it. This guy is early not from here.
