"MAN WITH A THOUSAND HANDS" KEMANO POWER GENERATING STATION INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER FILM 15434

[@wornoutwrench8128]

I worked in Kemano for 3 years in the mid 80's. Special place, great people there at the time.

This construction was a magnificent enterprise. And thank you for your diligent annotation here. I love these films. Will watch multiple times.

Wow...I worked as a surveyor on the preliminary work for the proposed Kemano Completion Project....I saw a lot of the remains of the original camp site....big Quonset huts, some with trees growing through them, others in still in usable condition still. I have been on most of the mountain tops around the valley using survey monuments set during the original construction and the country is amazing...even in min Summer there was a massive turqouise edge of an ice sheet hanging off one of the ridges behind the town. This would have been the late 1980's...the river would be thick salmon in the Fall. I also was able to tour the power plant itself....just amazing.....a huge open cavern in the mountain, with lots of halide lighting overhead, and everything from a small emergency medical room to a full equipped machine shop.

This needs to be shown in schools

[@fromthesidelines]

I believe it was available for school use when it was released in early 1953.

@Skoko 1945 To show how tough men were in the 50s. To show how good they have it these days!

[@scratchdog2216]

Quite beautiful country. The film doesn't do it justice.

[@verdantacres4460]

Awesome. Thank you.

Is this plant still operational? That is one of engineering marvels of 20-th century!

[@ThSandyRavage]

Yes. The just finished the second tunnel

Inexhaustible? That's the thinking that screwed us up. How mighty men are, holding dominion over the earth. Faugh

[@james-faulkner]

That is why when humans destroy a natural habitat the army corps of engineers calls it 'reclamation'. We have re-claimed it from nature. Just because a terrible book said we have dominion over everything. The 'purchase malarkey' book as I call it, the buy bull(shit).

[@bambamermitanyo1049]

We do indeed have dominion over everything. We are in charge.

I thought this video was about Joe biden.

[@james-faulkner]

I don't think he has this much power.

[@james-faulkner]

The very first sentence he utters is absolutely incorrect.

"Man with a Thousand Hands"? I thought this was going to be an Andrew Cuomo biography.
