“Wanna see the most underwhelming video on CZcams?”
“Sure, what ya got?”
Why when all office people come on to a job site with shiny new helmets they never have them on straight
Helmets? You are the office people.. 👏
It's a hardhat.
Lol
Because wearing them straight is boring
7.9billion gallons of water that was meant to be treated and discharged but never was
Its now 2018. Water is stagnant. On hot summer days, the stink carries for several miles.
That's just the usual Harvey stench.
What did you expect it's an open pit sewer. Im sure this came up in planning meetings, or not :)
Absolutely stupid
Stinks so bad
Who in their right mind would ever consider living withing 4 miles of this gaping eyesore!? I feel for y'all. I drive over this every week and finally, I take a deep dive (no pun intended 🤣) into research and am pleasantly amazed at the vastness of this project.
Hope no one crashes into it
Wow!!!
He resembles Dan Aykroyd.
Jaunty angle on the hardhat, too.

not last blast of quarry that’s for sure! house shakes everytime they blast
That's the north one that closed. It's now used as an overflow for downtown Chicago, so they don't have to worry about flooding. They're still using the others, so that's where the blasts are coming from.
