lunch on a skyscraper by Charles C Ebbets

this photo was taken in 1932 the photo shows 11 men eating lunch siting on a girder with their feet dangling down hundreds of feet above new York city.  this photo was taken on the 69th floor of the GE building wall it was still being constructed.  This photo represents the working community showing how people   yest to and some times still do haft to work.  the men in the photo obviously ignore wear there having there lunch as you can see the 11 men are eating a sandwich, smoking, and enjoying a well deserved brake completely unfazed that there dangling hundred of feet above the ground.  The health and safety of the work's these days are quite different from then.  People would have a hart attack  if they sore workers up on a skyscrapers without a harness.  The business would be hammed hard and the boss and work's would probably be fired as to back in 1932 wen it was perfectly all right.
