When I was a kid we used to drive by the gate of
a steel mill - probably the Homestead Works -
and there was a sign saying "This plant has gone
N days without a loss-of-time accident" or
something like that. The number was always in
the single digits. Even as a kid I could figure out
what that meant.

When I was a kid we would drive out to the Hoover Dam
construction site. Dad would park on an overlook and
we would eat popcorn and watch the bodies land in the
wet cement.

So there.

"Deaths attributed to construction: 112; 96 of them at the construction
site"

I realize that you're trying to imply that it was safe there.

Tom I don't think anyone was saying it was safe. Just that the bit
about pouring numerous people into the concrete is a myth.

I'm sure that's what you and I think Bill. But please don't speak for those
nutcakes Schwartz or Munro who are only interested in making points in their
contest.

Are you kidding? You posted (a couple of times) that guys were buried in the
pouring of the Hoover dam and left there - a grotesque bit of mythology. If you
didn't think it was "making points in [your] contest," why did you post it?

Maybe you mean that Bob and Donald are in a contest to see who can be the most
effective at making fun of you by making mocking use of your posts, in which case Bob
got good points for that one.
