I too have dealt with OSHA..I had to call them after I got fired from a scrap terminal that I worked at. The company was handed out big fines for faulty equipment and breaking proper disposal techniques for waste oil etc etc..they then fired the workers involved..I got cut a pretty nice check to shut my mouth..OSHA however..says that they wanted me to settle because they were looking to break the company down on a much LARGER scale..I feel that OSHA is a bit dirty with tactics..but they will definitely cut you in when your working for a large company that they want to bully. The people that come out and do inspections are meticulous. I have seen them under trucks..in barges in scrap piles and testing water..it's crazy..they checked lockers for safety equipment and even measured out distance to fire extinguishers from one another..it's crazy..they go through alot of work to prove a point.

I don't act like I know it all. And for your information, I didn't just sit in an office all day. I was out in the plant frequently. I even reported safety things before. Trust me when I say OSHA is not a very big fan of the company I worked for. I paid lots of fines because they were dumb. (They couldn't even produce an MSDS book to paramedics one time) As someone who has seen OSHA up close, I kind of know what I am talking about. Not to mention that when I worked at another place I called OSHA on my boss. My dad works with them as well. I think I know a little bit about how it works. So yeah, you might have some shifty people at times, but not with stuff like that.

Archie, you have access on a need to know level. What you are reading is what the people who hired you want you to read. Any "covert" information would be catogorized well above the level of the average worker, kept under lock and key (literally) and not left lying around for anyone to casually browse. Classified info cannot, by DOD directive, be accessable thru non-classified means, and at various levels of sensitivity, must be kept under cypher lock in secured rooms.

And with all due respect, I doubt you have the clearance level to access it.

Having dealt with sensitive information in the past, I can tell you :

A) that the government takes security VERY seriously,
B) most of what is "classified" is incredibly boring
C) any agency that allows said information out, if discovered, will suffer severe sanctions, including loss of security privlidges, and possable gov't contracts.
D) any individual who views said information and discloses it in violation of DOD directives, can be held accountable, including fines and jail time, it can be construed as espionage. Military personel can be court martialed. Depending on the severity of the breach, they may be tried as traitors, which still carrys the death penalty.

I know a guy who left a repository unlocked one night, and it took him several months of investigations to clear his name.

So, even if you were to find some classified "dirt", you better keep it to yourself, or the Gov't agents WILL be knocking on your door! Trust me on this, these boys have NO sense of humor with anything even vaguely related to national security. They WILL come down on you .

i just found out that back in the day when nsh was still operational the navy would send people to nsh for various reasons, and they would also use nsh for various reasons. im gonna see what i can dig up but i think i may be on to something that may be a big missing peice of the nsh puzzle. i will share info as i come across it. lol i love haveing access to things hehehehehe

you guys do have very good points, but the thing is it did happen, the facility that i worked at has been shut down, and i could never find out the reasons why but i already know. sparkles, really? u always gotta act like you know it all? open youre mind a little and be a free thinker for once, shit like this does happen. you would be surprised what happens inside plants when all the office people just stay in there office. i was once hit by a hi/lo and the guy drove off, i wasnt hurt so i didnt give a rats but it just goes to show you these things happen. lol i do gotta say one thing, if osha had a chance to inspect the military, they would have heart attacks!!!
anyways, has anybody heard about the abandond town here in connecticut? i saw something about it and was very interested anyboy ever been?

Bonjour & félicitations … gave you a mention here: snaporaz.posterous.com … minor question: was the book written in English ou en français ? Meilleurs !

Hello Kevin, hello Braxton, hello everyone who love this place,

some friends and me just a few days ago heard from the demolition. We want to try what seems impossible- to stop this madness. We are planning to start a forum just for the Castle, we hope that everyone who know it introduce "his Mesen part", his photos, experiences or "just" his dreams and hopes and thoughts and wishes in it. As more people from all around the world show on this way, how important this castle for them, as more mabe it's possible to stop the demolition and get more time.

Further we are planning a signature list for stopping the demolition.

At present it all are just thoughts. But we will need everyone and his power to achieve the new chance...

Together maybe: YES; WE CAN!

More information coming soon.

Best regards and hope for your feedback, Jens.

naw man, it is NOT a ghost town,. ghosts are white. So negative.

I was born in Puerto Rico but I grew up in Gary in the 1950's and 1960's. I have the fondest memories of my living there. I attended Holy Trinity School and then Froebel School and lived on 11th and Jackson. Everyone was kind and alwasys spoke to each other. My mother worked in Chicago so the commute took it's toll on her and we moved to Chicago so that she could be closer to her job. I remember riding the South Shore Train and my Godfather would pick me up from the train station on Broadway. All my friends are now in living in different locations, but those of us who stay in touch reminisce about the good times we had while growing up there. It is sad to see the pictures of all the buildings especially the ones of Methodist Church. It was a beautiful church in it's day. I did enjoy seeing the video on Youtube because that was a video of a city that was alive. Thank you so much for the memories!
