So the operator box caught fire while the operator was in there? Luckily he got out but holy fuck that would be scary.

I could never do that job. Its not just the fear of heights. Its the fear of any of the catastrophic failures that could happen.

It pays really well, all you need is your commercial driver’s license, you take a 3 month course that costs a couple grand and then it’s a cool 100k+ per year and usually if you can get a permanent position you get LOA

But yeah the reasons you listed are why it’s so high paying lol

100k+ does not mean what it used to.
Yup, still more than average pay though… unfortunately
definately. Its just that I know im going to make 6 figures and will die a millionaire but it won't mean much next to the trillionaires of the time.
So that's what happened. I saw smoke rising earlier on the NYC_Timescape twitch stream. Figured I'd learn about it in the news eventually.
