Incredible colorised footage from 1929 of construction workers on the Chrysler Building in New York.
I’m just impressed that it has audio
If you wanted solid, definitive proof that the past did, in fact, happen, here it is.
I’m surprised the structure was able to support the weight of every set of BRASS FUCKING BALLS on all of those construction workers. Pre-safety gear/OCEA was wilding man.
Some ya’ll who are younger need to google Frank Serpico and read about his time in the NYPD and what the cops did to him and attempted to do to him up until the late 90′s. He literally had to go into hiding in Italy and Switzerland and multiple times people tried to kill him. He only came back to America after the mafia (who hated the NYPD a lot, obviously) said “you’re under our protection.”
Foreign Policy actually just published an interview with Frank Serpico 4 days ago (06/11/2020) regarding police corruption and brutality. Give it a read.
If you’ve been keeping up, you might’ve finally met the fourth Homestuck^2 kid!! :^j
I had the honor of being invited to design them, and lemme just say–just from designing them–they’re already my absolute favorite of the cast (but that just might be my bias showing hehe). I can’t wait to see what antics they get up to in future updates!
