Quote II Pittsburg Steel 1986

When working on location in a shutterred steel mill in Pittsburg for the filming of 'Robocop' I saw this scrawled on the wall and never forgot it. I was told that on the day that the mill was closed three steel workers jumped into the molten steel. From 1981 to 1986, the Pittsburgh Steel Mills disappeared and 153,000 workers lost their jobs and livelihood.
