Old videos from 1900
1930 in color Construction Workers on the Chrysler Building old classic film video
New York's Chrysler Building, one of the city's most iconic skyscrapers, was built in a remarkably short time--foundation work began in November 1928, and the building officially opened in May 1930. Even more remarkably, the steelwork went up in just six months in the summer of 1929 at an average rate of four floors a week.
Fox Movietone's sound cameras visited the construction site several times in 1929 and 1930, staging a number of shots to maximize viewers' sense of the spectacular heights. Movietone almost never put somebody in front of a camera without giving them something to say, so a number of scenes include some staged dialogue.

Grandfather is shown in a beige wool hat at 1:54. Frank Biscardi, Sr. Born 4/15/1899
Died 3/15/1990
He immigrated from Sicily in 1922 . He was very proud to become a naturalized American citizen. He was a kind but tough guy who worked hard and didn’t complain. He was a master plasterer .
God rest his soul
May his work never be forgotten!
His hard work is, was, and will be seen by millions of eyes throughout history!
👍👍
God Bless Him !! I'm originally from Ireland. Came to the US in 86 and worked as a Mason for 10 years before I got an Injury. From Soccer LOL, Hip Injury. And went to College. I am an Engineer now fixing Xray Machines etc. But I worked with a Lot of old Italian and Sicilians Stone and Brick Masons in Boston, MA some came here as Kids. Great workers, especially skilled at Intricate Stone Work and Plastering too. They were great fun too and would drink and tell stories in the Bar after work too. I was a young guy and they kept me out of Trouble a few times too both at work and in the Bars. God Bless them all and your Grandfather !!
02:23 Dude from 1929. Remember when you were a kid.
Shit even back then people talked about how things where better before
Yes lol! I didn't notice! 🙂
The day people doesn't do that anymore humanity will be gone.
@@pyramusk3264 Yes of course, everything was so much better during the 1940s right?
Me trying to go back to 2006 xD
Sounded like he was remarking on the progress, saying how the street had developed. But yes, every generation feels the world was a better place when they were young lol. Truth is, we were just young so everything seemed better in the glow of our youth.
Loud hammering, no gloves, sharp metal edges, extreme heights, no safety glasses. Their clothing looked stiff and bulky and their shoes didn’t have gripping rubbery soles but yet they balance on a 2” diameter steel pipe 1000 feet up. You’d think their hats would blow off with the slightest wind gust. They were amazing. So glad these films were saved and digitized for us to watch all these years later.
People who complain about their daily lives need to realize how truly blessed you are. You have no idea how hard people fought to survive so you can walk this earth. Nothing was given in those days you hard to earn the bread on your table. There's a lost sense of adventure in today but it should never be forgotten
Hammering on a tin eagle all day long doesn't sound rough at all. I had to unload tractor-trailers and boxcars when I was a teenager.
@@RebuttalRecordsThat's fair enough, but I think it's to do with the fact of how dangerous this job actually was. Building high-rise buildings without safety equipment and constantly having to climb up and down endlessly for a whole shift would definitely take it out of you.
@@Spirituallyverified Honestly, I don't think I'd have the intestinal fortitude to hammer on anything at that height.
I'm freaking out just watching them...I just could never do anything like this. Nothing but respect to these guys
Same here nothing but respect for these men but I could never I would be terrified being this high on a building let alone the edge they were lucky to have ppl step up and do these jobs back then risking their lives
I'm watching this by myself and just said outloud, to nobody, "Oh I can't watch *this*!" and turned away because it was making my feet sweat lol 😂
There are 2 reasons they do this, maybe 3. 1. Extremely high payment or 2. lower intelligence than we have nowadays 3. less value for their own life.
They were not wearing safety harnesses during construction
you forget that people were just like us, people become so distant from the modern person when time passes. we forget that people got up in the morning, thought about what they had to do that day, thought about mundane things, made jokes, had long conversations. We view people from another time though the perspective of movies, books, or photos. These types of videos remind us that people were like us
This video definitely helped me realize people were…people, back then. No different from us today. 100% agree!
The movies today are crap too, probably the last 30 years have been rubbish.
@@Scruggs91better dressed back then and not much crappie polyester is being worn.
Wow balls of steel
Yes, lol! 😁
Well I mean literally
Just watching them and my palms are sweating like crazy
Same here 😄
They also cross the road through busy traffic, they really dont care about their life.
"CJNG" Jajaja andas traumado
Feel sick
NO WAY IN HELL WOULD I DO THAT...IM NERVOUS WATCHING IT
😄
Imagine one of these construction workers was only in his late teens at the time but is still alive today, making him possibly one of the oldest people and the memories he gave out as helping with the construction of this massive building
Yesss
lol no one working construction that long ago, that had a full career, is alive today
@@mattblah7737 i worked on it i am alive .
This is 1929-30, he'd be 200 now!!
@@dLw920 Yeah, I remember you. :)
Love how flat caps and fedoras were were 1920s hard hats
And shirt and ties on, lol.
Health and Safety in 1902 ISH!..Wow! how time's have changed 🤔
@@MrAllie-bf6ztyep!.. very stylish
Some brave guys, no safety equipment or anything! All that hard work, still standing tall today
The New York accent was so different back then
Possible this workers was foreigners
@@FilmRescue1 no !! just watch hollywood movies from that era that's how they spoke back then.
Well it's not Geordie is it!...lol
@@FilmRescue1oh I never would have thought of that 🤔🧐
The hair on my neck is standing up to salute them. Feeling goosebumps and adrenaline rush!!
🤣
Wow I used to marvel at this building while working on other buildings up there and now I see how the eagles were crafted. Hammered aluminum. Makes sense. Freaking cool as hell!!!!!
Das ist Kupfer
It's insane how time changes almost everything around so quickly! Working like that is not just unthinkable it's something only stupid adrenaline junkies would do. Back then it was just a normal day of work.
Yes, we grow so fast! Evolution... It's good but it's too fast..
No idea why this came into my recommend I’m afraid of heights lol ! Still I watched and it was really interesting 👍🏻
😂 Maybe watching this you will get over that fear! 😁 You can consider to subscribe if you wanna see more videos like this.
nobody feels sorry for you.... carry on
@@mikehunt368 ???????
Respect to these hard working and clearly fearless men
I wonder if those eagles heads have been there ever since with little to no modifications just some weather coatings? I don't know. That would be incredible. Seeing these guys working hard and their work lasting almost 100 years later , with high winds and weather, incredible!! I don't know. Anyone know?
Truly incredible footage, thank you for sharing 🙏
All of my respect from the bottom of my heart for those brave workers whose sacrifices would never be forget. Thank you for share this.
It takesny breath away looking down from any real height. I was waiting for the fall and they were being just as casual as someone walking down the street. I wanted to closemy eyes everytime the camera was pointing down
Probably, they didn't look a lot. Cause when u work at high places, after a few moments ur used to it and concentrate to the work. Sometimes u look down, but the little swinging isn't a problem anymore when u get there everyday
Sureal! Somehow looking at such old footage in color instantly takes about 70 years off from it ...
No safety harness, no hard hats health and safety was low but as they entered the Big depression there jobs were really sought after, fantastic footage much respect to these brave workers I remember someone saying lots of of workers died during theses construction 🙏❤️
The hair on the back of my neck is standing up, watching them.
Hehe :) same here :D
Ya lol
Yeah dude, seriously. Imagine being the guy who has to hold the end of that eagles head as you're all removing it?? Nuh uh
*adjusting it. Haha. Didn't finish the video yet.
@@robertraymond762 Brave guys, I bet they were proud to do that
Esse é um vídeo que explica por que sempre tivemos mais viúvas do que viúvos no mundo!!👍👍🍺🍺
The palms of my hands are moist watching this. I can't stand heights at all.
My heart is literally racing just watching this
Check out Fred Dibnah he was a steeplejack from the 70's. Mind blowing how calm he is at such heights
This should be a flagship presentation at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, Virginia to demonstrate the greatest generations building a colossal work in a piece of art, that's iconic, emblematic, and a touchstone representing the corporation at a stage of development. These guys are the real-life Supermen heroes so fabled in our great American lore; a priceless snippet for our culture in future generations to draw from. God Bless America!
OSHA has left the building
I just read that 5 people died building the empire state building and it only took 13 months to finish...thats crazy.
REAL MEN.
They seem calm & why am I the one looking terrified and babbling like an idiot?! 😨😨😱😱😱 Dude, I almost pissed my pants!
😄
Chrysler building, the most majestic New York skyscraper, in art decco style. Nothing compares, not even the Empire state building. The Woolworth building & the Flat iron building gets turn of the century honorable mentions from me. Robert at 69.
Upcoming iron worker these people motivate me
Did they all make it down safely ?
Make a video
Мужики, похоже, рисуются друг перед другом. Респект, что тут скажешь
this gave me sweaty palms
😄 me too
These men were happy to provide for their families and the single men lived the high life after work. Those were your two types of workers back in the day. Both were bad asses.
Whats sad is they are currently trying to ease these men and claim only Africans built America smh
People were so much calmer back then
Different era, similar joys and struggles just like now.
My god that made me so tense, I mean damn no harness or ropes.
Back then people used to be so brave.
I bet there's a couple of Geordie's there.
Sooooo cool
Thank you!
same
my hands aren't sweating your hands are sweating
The dude overseeing the assembly of "The Eagle" working without even the most basic gloves... could've wound up with all the digits in one hand lost, yet everything went as smoothly as pie. No harnesses, or nets, and not even widened extensions to the surfaces of the Carnegie beams and girders, not even non-skid. This stuff is DECADES before OSHA was even thought of. Insane courage, bravery, clear thinking, optimism, and BALLS. No early morning hangover- burdened sots, or druggies working here, seemingly.Even fatigue and the everyday difficulties if life would challenge the straightest guy TODAY. Wheaties and Cheerios must've had some secret ingredients back then😂 lol They are working as if on the ground. MAN what a good group of CHAMPIONS!
My stomach was turning just watching this video. These men are so brave 🇬🇧🇹🇷🇬🇧🇹🇷
looks like safety wasnt number one priority back in the day
I seriously get light headed and almost sick to my stomach watching some of these scenes with how even the slightest slip or wrong move these men are DEAD. How about even a sudden out of nowhere gust of wind? Yikes
height limit is 200 0:43
This happened all before OSHA
Wow, they are brave!! Scared me half to death several xs.
Make a video
They spent more time hammering on that eagle than they did building the skyscraper.
People seemed so much more healthier those days. Physically and mentally.
Yes, less worries i believe
Its like people were more down to earth and connected
Hmmmm not really... On the physical level maybe
@@rickriot8743 mentally too, actually.
@@-xnnybimb-9398 yeah you're probably right who am I kidding look at these kings
2:07 dude just laying on the line wtf
My grandfather worked on the George Washington Bridge and said the American Indians who worked on it walked around the high points like it was nothing.
my acrophobia intensifies
😄
but what you don't know, they are all cameramen
Not a DEI hire in sight 🤣💙
The first clip was filmed 5 days before my mom was born.
Mis Respetos Para Todos Esos Trabajdores De La Construcción De Los Años 1900 A 1930...Tenian Grandes 🥚🥚 Para Trabajar y Caminar Sobre Esos Altísimos Edificios De Nueva York Sin Ninguna Protección....Hoy.En Dia Todo Es Diferente y Mas Fácil....🧐🧐 🇭🇳 👍👍👍👍
OMG my stomach’s flipping just watching this 😩
I am now just a puddle of sweat, absolutely terrifying.
These guys have more heart then any gangster or punk in da streets😂😂
Aren't those guys awsome? I did 20 years high rise concrete.in NYC..its the greatest thrill to be up there...
dang
Incredible what a time.💪🙏🏼👍🇺🇸
Its not real !
Great video
Esses trabalhadores foram incríveis!!!👍👍🍺🍺
The Great Depression is just begging & The Dust Bowl will begin in a few months😓
Занятно что многих этих людей уже нет в живых, но дело их до сих пор живёт.
No rope🪢true masters ! Plumbers 💪thank you for watching
America look what we did we are amazing!
How many of them flew off freely from that height. Nobody is talking.. No records
The year of the Radium energy drinks lol
All of these people are dead
Sadly
Do you allow reactions
So where were the camermen with the big tripod cameras ??
Looks like they are wearing slick leather sole shoes instead of work boots with a vibram sole that gives better traction on steel beams
Is the iron worker at 9:28 wearing a tie?
Got to be very brave. I couldn’t do it.
Its actually film, digitally dubbed. Most people undef 30 struggle to understand the difference between film and video.
Oui et 1900 pas de son ...😊
@@snet3483
Oui, c'est toujours aussi étonnant la façon dont ils colorisent ces vieux films.
@@brianhalberg131 oui Mm mais moi je parlais du son , je disais que à cette époque il n y avait pas de son , les images de 14 18 non plus , 39 45 oui . C était ça , oui la coloration donne un cotes plus moderne , qui nous rappelle notre époque , c est bien fait .
Без страховочных верёвок стоят общаются офигеть люди были
Я охренел 😂 Как ? Без страховки вообще и курят😜, ходят как будто по земле, типа ничего не происходит, а вниз метров 100 а то и больше🤣🤣🤣
So scary!!😳
Holy crap! No PPE at all! lol
Today if you’re on a podium platform 600mm up and the gates not shut the safety guy turns into the girl from the Exorcist.
To see them hard at work putting those eagles on and they are still there today.
What other option did they have.......good old days....
mind that that was the time of the Great Depression where workers were risking their miserable lives for merely pennies
Les hommes ❤de l'époque les grandes père reposé vous en paix 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤ il faut respecter les vieux regards comment ils gagne un morceau de pain 🍞 à l'époque reposé vous en paix les hommes ❤❤❤❤❤
no wind in that height?
Sometimes 🙂
nah we had a beautiful weather that day.
How do they dub these silent movies? With lip readers?
Hey champ, just wondering, there is a video titled *NZ ALL BLACKS BEST HAKA* here on UA-cam. Poster goes by the name of *Rugbyplease2* it has around 3.6M views but the only problem, shitty quality. People have been wanting to see it in good quality but can’t find one. I’m not sure how this all works but I’m sure you’ll get Millions of views for that clip. Over 11 years old & not one video of it in HD. What’s it take to convert a video like that?
Nobody with a latte! :)
На такой высоте, и не одной унесенной шляпы 😅. Ветра вообще нет. Не верю.
❤️👍
These aren’t “videos.” They’re films.
i cant breathe
8.02 is hilarious
