Last night we watched the History channel show "Rebuilding the World Trade Center" (see this post [msg]278083[/msg]). You did a fantastic job Scott, very articulate and professional. You have a lot of accomplishments to be proud of and your appearance in this show is one of them.
The only problem with the show was that at 2 hours running length it was about 2 hours too short. Very well done, not too overly sentimental, a fantastic account of the rebuilding of the site with great character studies thrown in. Who needs reality TV when you have reality? As a bonus, many of the scenes and stages of construction were familiar because of Scott's postings here on the board.
:good:
I really enjoyed it. I was surprised at how much of a surveying/layout theme the show took on. The artist said he even used marking paint in his paintings.

That is an awesome show. Great job Scott.
Just starting to watch it now. Saw Scott right away in the first couple minutes...
He is the third person to talk. Awesome!
As I watched that show, I thought about the back story - the metal workers that fabricated all of that structural steel, and the testers and inspectors involved in the quality control. I thought about the teamsters involved in shipping all of the materials and equipment to the job site.
I thought about how the sheer volume of construction materials probably strained the supply chain for other construction projects.
I wondered how many change orders were involved.
There is enough back story to probably cover a whole television season of shows.
Very interesting project. Management of this project is probably life consuming. I cannot imagine the constant stress involved.
Stream link - THANK YOU Robert!!
I hadn't a chance to check to see if streamed it or not.
GREAT SHOW!!!!
Kinda got a misty-eyed at the last when set the final piece of the spire.
They could make a whole show on how they set and take down those cranes from on high.
How about that Gelbke feller who learned how to hang steel from a YouTube video.
Every bit of this was well worth every frame.
