Nippon Steel wants to buy USS now.

We've sold our souls to the Devil the Chinese. Corporate America managed blind the American population with cheap inferior goods. Prophet over security ,prophets over quality the politicians and corporations managed to kill the American Dream and way of life.

"We work hard, we play hard." {everybody dance now!}

mr. nixon opened up trade with prc, which allowed prc to grow into an industrial power possibly bigger than usa. it is not clear whether mr. trump will be able to bring it back. china has hundreds of millions of highly disciplined low cost labour, the best technology that money could buy, and a very strong government to support their industry.

Could our young people putting in a hard days work like this without a cellphone in their hand!😅😅😅😅😅

No woke crap there .

We had a 148" mill in Hamilton, Ontario

What America was like before we sent all the jobs overseas and started buying everything from China 😳🤦🏻‍♂️😳

Yeah, I grew up in the wrong time

The hidden genius behind all factorys are the designers that drawn the plans for the machines, tools, factories etc. Without the clearver designers drawing this stuff non of this would have happened.

You can follow along with these guys on their walk to work in Google Maps. Very interesting. Most of the homes and buildings in the film are still there. Third Street to Walnut, then to the plant. Quite a walk down memory lane from a lost time.

I feel sad about the decline of British engineering & manufacturing. We were the worlds workshop. We gave the world the industrial revolution. We invented most things like the locomotives and built railways across the world, the list goes on and on. For our American cousins, Charles Swan invented the tungsten light bulb before Thomas Edison. It was made commercial by Edison as he had more financial backing.

And on the weekends they take their sons to the ball game.

This explains so much in terms of why am seeing verity of quality of steel that appears to be ordinary but ones you bite into it with tools it is clear that not all steel is made equal and this video covers some reasons for the differences I am noticing.

👍👍

America at its peak strength

Lukens is about an hour drive from me. My grand pop knew many of the workers there from his high school.

What kinda steelworker gets up at 7 AM?

And you think Trump will bring all this back?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Eh ? 🤔 Where is Dyreasie and Como ? What about Habibibib ? Ah the good old days lads 😊

Ah the 50s before PPE was a thing

Ahh, the days when PPE was a tie and a pipe... And the steel was exceptional quality, no chinesium in sight.

Now we manufacture genders

Well, loads of comments? How about the U.S. of A., manufactured 7O% of goods & 50% automobiles in 1950, for the entire world. My dad retired as a machine builder at General Electric, and never had to work at Walmart to make ends meet during his retirement.

Life before, “The Rust Belt” and now how many hood’s?

My father would take the overnight train from welland ontario representing atlas steels to coatsville in the early fifties !

When men only had one gender, took pride in the work and the product they made, when we were a Great Country ( now look what we have become 😢)

Nostalgic to be sure, but ultimately, other countries did it better with lower wages and more investment

My uncle lived in Marshallton and worked at Lukens Steel. Both are now long gone. Such a shame.

The comments below saying it is sad and terrible that those times are gone, dont have a frkn clue just how BRUTAL and DANGEROUS working in those conditions were. Geezus. It is just pathetic how clueless these people are. These are the same people that snivel, Make America Great Again. We want these times again. God, it is so pathetic.

I'm a union millwright 1102 proud have worked Nucor, Cleveland cliffs, inland,arcelormittal, Bethlehem work's Gary, Midwest,US steel,the rouge,in all phases of the mills from the ore yard to the coker the strip mill and it's the same every place safety is #1 over anything 25 yrs never been injured

We are still great just not as!!!

This is before corporate greed and selfishness was a real thing,and before China learned about smelting

I was familiar with Lukens because they had another plant in Conshohocken. They actually bought scrap steel from the public (which is how I ended up there). I didn't know that wasn't their main facility.

America…before corporations took over

With all the dramatic music playing, it's a shame they couldn't have used just one Wilhelm Scream, y'know, just to mess with us... I drive past this plant 5-6 times a day and I'm finally glad to be able to see what really goes on inside there. Huge respect for this dangerous work.

Another scene of a dead and long gone world. Thank government for reducing America to a third world wage slave colony.

Lukens was our major supplier for 30 years. Best quality and on-time delivery every order. It's a crying shame what has happened to our country.

I think it's hilarious that those guys would show up to work in a factory with a suit and tie and a hat

Betrayed by politicians and corporations

I am shocked it is still in business. Operating as Cleveland Cliffs. I am surprised they didn't tear it down and build a Walmart.

I spent a couple of week at this place replacing some electrical controls, for the rolling mill, back in the 90s. It was the biggest mill I was ever in. The control pulpit was 25' high, The bridge cranes were 400 ton and big enough to drive a car across. We took a 2 man elevator to the attic electrical room that was above the cranes. When we were done up there the elevator didn't work so we took the catwalk out the back of the room looking down at the bridge cranes moving below us.

My first job out of college was Phoenix Steel. Loved the steel business. Lukens was my competition.

Back when hard work and honesty was the norm. And America made EVERYTHING!!

Shows how Trump and his profiteering friends have ruined the country.

These jobs. Even with modernizeation , would be around today. This was filmed in the 1950's it took politicians. envirowackjobs and the unions to absolutely destroy the steel industries in the USA.

Even then the evil Democrats and their criminals in government were corrupt as hell and now look where we're at.

Love that they were doing the bottom pouring of ingots in the 50s

Getting up at 7am ! - living the dream!

Those were the days.😢
