I always liked watching the Die Hard movies because I worked on the Fox Plaza building during its construction in the late 80s. I’ve been on every floor, on the roof and in the basement.

Yeah, that was good flick. Hey South, Hi-Rise/’skraper construction was my gig before retirement also. Remember the old reply, when up in the tower, when another tradesman passed you by and asked ya, “Hey, hows it goin”? Yep, it was: “D.L.D.B.”!! (Don’t Look Down Baby)! Damn a lot of years ago, and I’d probably crap my pants now just LOOKING at an exterior man-lift cage clankin’ it’s way up the side of one of those monsters!
