Look at the picture of the steel mill. You can't even see to the end of it for the smog. No way would that be allowed to exist over here nowadays lol...

It's not really underlined, but the first breakthrough was selling opium (which was legal at the time) and the second was selling steel to aid WWI effort.

BBC News - The men of steel with a softer side

I never knew any of that. Very interesting, especially since in our field they generally are not well thought of at all!
