When I was much younger I thought of making some quick money on the
Crab boats of Alaska and some of my cousins did at my suggestion. Now
we can watch it on TV. I got drafted. Cousins and brothers all worked
the Alaska pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez.
I also worked Coke Ovens in Detroit which was exceedingly dangerous
with at least one ambulance run a day (three shifts totaling 400 men
population) in the summer. One of the guys working my job, same
position, top coal car operator, was killed six months after I left
while working a straight 24 hour shift. 16 hour shifts seven days
straight were common.
But nothing can come close to the dangers of working the towers in
broadcasting except suicide bombing IMO.
