    What a sad tale. The same pictures face you on 2nd Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pa. J&L, US steel. Republice steel all shut down. I was an Indian Govet steel trainee (INSTEP) in 1959. I consider those years the dream period of my life.

    Good doc, though a bit heavy on the bleeding hearts over the loss of the industry.

    My folks are from the North of England, and have similar tales about Cammel Laird Shipyards, or the firms in Birmingham and Manchester which invented modern steelmaking.  I’m pretty sure the French have similar tales about their famous Le Creuset steelworks, and the Japanese whose cheaper products brought about the demise of Bethlehem are themselves facing the result of Chinse and Indian competition. 

    It is so sad, though, to think of the demise of one of the firms which made it great to have America come in on one’s side during WWII.
