Several men (workers and guys in suits) stand on top of building watching liquid stuff pouring messily down pipe & chute. LS worker perched up high knotting a rope to secure scaffolding poles together; can see buildings far below. MS from behind another worker also tying poles together. Shot of a few more men on top of planks; one is sawing a board on a sawhorse. More men perched precariously on beams while they continue to secure the scaffolding; can see railroad tracks below.
