Production officially stops at AK Steel’s Ashland plant

What was once a booming manufacturing employer, saw it's production come to a stop Monday morning.

Sad my grandfather used to work there at the steel mill. Not to long ago he brought me inside the plant and it was like nothing I've ever seen it was totally abandoned, helmets everywhere, old computers, it was like something out of a suspenseful movie I wonder what it was like to work in something like that......

Still hurt hundreds of people losing jobs, and even major struggles financially.

With thousands of jobs lost, too. Go flip hamburgers at McDonald's.
