The factories were heavily bombed, but practically the construction work had been redone very quickly.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Factories not what they used to be - they're all extremely high-tech.
The whole purpose of those attacks was to drive those contractors out. Lots of them had to leave. They were terrified.
For the longest time I was afraid I'd have to keep on working at the factories. There was a steel mill and a pottery; if you didn't go to college, you went to work in those places.
You built a factory out there, good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads that the rest of us paid for. You hired workers that the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
The 1993 Trade Center bombing was obviously frightening. It could have been much worse than it was.
On the eighteenth of December 1972, when we thought we were getting another of the hundreds of little tactical air raids, we heard the bombs going in out there in the railroad yards and this went on for about thirty minutes.
Machines were, it may be said, the weapon employed by the capitalists to quell the revolt of specialized labor.
By the time I was leaving school, there were no factories. There was no industry.
The chemistry involved made everything Factory did quite special.
Are you familiar with 9/11? Building 7? You know what was in there? All the Enron stuff. I guess that building went down on its own.
