The "superhuman folks" above mentioned are the 75 Broad street bucket brigade crew, and uh... we made startup wages. We weren't quants, we made productivity software.

Though the "55 gallon" drum lift is greatly exaggerated, that was a crew of guys hired off the street who were walking around doing odd jobs in the disaster zone. Kinda wild. For us, we just carried the 5 gallon buckets.
