Great pictures capturing the drama of steel making. Some people consider it pollution, I consider it pure beauty. And I admire the people that make it happen !!!
I worked there from 1977 through early 1982, hired when I was 18 then laid off in 1982. I started as a laborer on the Blast Furnaces, then graduated to "Cinder snapper" on the Blast furnaces during the casts. Then I got accepted on a trade, the Boilermaker apprenticeship. Then as a Boilermaker, you were in what was called "Central Maintenance", most trades people in Central Maintenance were daily dispatched to EVERY functional department inside the E.T. plant, to work fixing and building stuff. It was really a fascinating place to work, I really liked it a lot. I am very thankful for the opportunity to have worked there. 😊
Family from Braddock here. It was a rough town and the mill was a way of life, but people had a lot of love. You should show the faces of the people who worked in them. Then you have the whole story :)
I was born in the 'Burgh in 1947 and grew up in Forest Hills, across the Westinghouse Bridge from this mill. Like painter Ron Donoughe says, there is a beauty about these mills, with their angles, smoke and fire, that has great appeal to we who remember The Valley Of Work, and its contributions to American strength and prosperity. Some of your shots remind me of Howard Fogg's paintings of the mills and railroads. Happy to find your channel!
My dad was 40 years on the Union Railroad. Started early 50’s firing steam engines then became fireman engineer. A workaholic suited for the Mon Valley!!
@@fortfrickphotography5891 If I may make a suggestion for the next video: pan/zoom/transition much more slowly. Your work is good. Don’t underestimate your viewer… let us pause and take it all in. Just some kind words, and looking forward to the next.
Excellent photographs, you really captured everything about the mill. Curious as to why you chose your first music selection, sounded more like the theme to a Friday the 13th movie.
Thanks. I think I was searching for something with a sort of epic / mysterious sound. The free UA-cam audio music files are pretty rough to find something that’s not too distracting.

Great photos. I spent 81-84 at ET. All the photos of the BOP, #1 and #3 Blast Furnaces, the OH Scrap Yard, the old slab mill and stripper. Nice job.
Wow you got a picture from every single angle, all with great framing. Surprising such a target would be so photogenic, great job!
Brings back memories of River Don Works Sheffield UK in the 1970's.

One photographer to another- Amazing work! I’m subbed 👍🏽

@@kenmunozatmmrrailroad6853 I agree, I had so many photos, I should broke up as was getting too long. Thanks for input.
I sincerely hope this plant isn't closed any time soon
