There were cops flooding the area in mere minutes and everyone was just chilling by their machines like nothing happened while the foreman talked to them. He just walked by everyone and said dont even think of stepping a toe outside until your shift is over.
That's hilarious! I knew a guy who worked at the Boeing plant on 291 outside Philly. He and a few of the other machinists fabricated a cannon, and fired stuff from one hangar to the other. Now, there are no machinists at Boeing
