Steel has a very small influence on the Pittsburgh community. Today we are far more focused on the future of medicine and technology with UPMC and CMU. We are not the dirty city people see us as.

Pretty good documentary, though a little odd to read 'The dense soot cloud that hovered overhead for decades is finally breaking up (-since the 1940's?) but some of the nation's worst levels of air pollution still remain.'

I went from living 30km (±22 miles) of the coast in a small city. To living 100km of coast in a bigger city. It's not awfully polluted. But I certainly can smell the difference!

I thought they were going to talk and show more about the technology.
