5. My brother worked those lines for many years until old injuries and bad knees put him

up in the tower. It's hard work. It's hot work. It's long days and nights with not much sleep. It's the kind of work that gives you bad dreams most of the summer. A lot of the guys turn to the drink. My brother did for years.

6. These pictures

really put into perspective how terrifyingly out of control things are.
