Default Re: 1936 Assy line footage

Deuce, I had seen this video quite some time ago and was once again reminded how dangerous those plants were back then.
Note no guards of any sort on the machines, etc. I wonder if records of injuries and deaths were ever kept.
I can't recall the exact numbers but think in Carnegie's steel mills, there were upwards of 50,000 men killed. Yeah, much more dangerous than GM, etc. but yikes, 50,000+? Incredible to think that was simply "how it was".
