It takes 10 seconds to see that Danny has never set foot on an actual site as a worker in his life. If on a job a site, the boss would consider him to be a risk until about month 6 or 8. Having a fear of heights is not only dangerous to him, but his crew and the guest site as fear manifests into panic. I was never in the Navy or a "Nuclear Engineer", for they don't have mechanics, nor did I bungee jump or sky dive during my 30 years of heavy site construction, heavy equipment, rigging and heavy truck operation. I also got into Hazardous Materals and went to work out of Boston just in time for 9/11. While I wasn't personally onsite for our involvement in ground zero, shortly after 9/11 I along with others were assigned to the anthrax attacks on NBC and Tom Brokaw, the US Postal Buildings and the US Senate. Does these experiances make me qualified more than a bungee jumping Navy man, ( while I thank you for your service to this country and congratulate you on your DD214). With regards to the assumption of thinking that a skilled host would cause the guest to feel the pressure of being "one-up'd". That's silly to it's core, being to understand what the guest is saying easily (relitively) and then being able to translate that to the vewier in english compentely and not like some 4th grade degrading mock! Also keep inmind that being of "the industry" you'll only have a general idea of most of the topics because for example mine are on about 8 or 9 and the show will cover about 150+ industries it's more or less just the working theory. In the end it's the fact that the host will have the premonition that the tank is going to move and be loud and not scream like a girl when it happens. And not look like a fool when he's standing around 12 marines. Do you think they gave that size jump suit by accident??? Well in the end Discovery Channel is getting better with some shows and they'll get this one out, Danny's not a bad guy this just isn't his cup of tea, so to say???? Say Discovery AutoCad where you can take virtual tours of the designs and design your own, right danny???????? Joey Deady

^^^Exactly^^^

Im sure he is a good guy but he just makes the show unwatchable. He is NOT funny. This show needs a capable host who knows what he is doing.

Danny is the perfect example of Why the men and women who work in the Trades every day hate Architects and engineers. They go to shcool, come up with things that look good on paper but have no understanding on how to actually impliment their ideas. Yet for some reason they have no problem critizing your work when you .06 of and inch over an allready unresonable tolorance of .1 inch.

I'll step of my soap box now
