Clearly very smart people, forging with just forklifts and a huge drop
hammer
Geez, what a dangerous occupation. A few of them were at least wearing face
shields, but if anything went wrong, somebody could be killed for sure!
Guys holding several TONS of yellow-hot steel with tongs from just a few
FEET away, while that drop hammer just wails away on the piece.
Sheesh, I can only imagine how long those guys work at this before somebody
gets hurt BADLY. Probably just weeks before they have to reset the "days
since last accident" clock back to zero.
