Here's some action with heavy machinery and big iron.
There's even thermit welding going on! It's a long video
over ten minutes, fyi.

Wow! that was some job! Reminds me of the red ant hives when I put
poison grain on them. I wonder how long it will be before they rip it
up again?

Earthquake damage.

That looks like a pretty dangerous job site. Those guys have to be
approaching Mach 1 in those cranes. I would be scared of getting run
over. I also can't believe how fast those workers move. Did the
company put Meth in their Gatorade? Any company would love to have
employees that can finish a job like that in 12 minutes flat.

That's what happens when the workers are paid by the job instead of
hourly.
