I’d say high rise iron workers seem the coolest. Think back to that black and white picture everyone has seen of the two guys sitting on a beam hundreds of feet up eating lunch.

I remember watching a documentary about someone who was welding under the ocean, and simultaneously inside of a empty undersea pipeline that they had to swim a ways down to reach the problem area. That’s too damn extreme for me. I would sign up to be a doordash driver who only delivers to the worst Karens before I put on a single flipper. :D. Crazy hardcore.
And the accidents… Those documentaries are in a category of their own. If there’s a massive pressure difference between two sides of a wall, all sorts of horrible things can happen. Pure nightmare fuel.
Are those the ones that spend long lengths of time at extremely high pressure and need to essentially live in a pressure vessel for the duration of their work?
That’s just one place with great pressure differences. It could also be water on two sides of a wall in a dry dock. Those accidents are equally disturbing.
Saturation divers. Something I didn’t realize, they haul the pressure vessel to the surface at the end of every shift, they don’t live at the bottom, but they’re under pressure.
But their voices are so funny!
Not to mention the things drifting around you in the darkness that you can’t see but can probably feel.
Yikes 😱
