A Man a Mile (2004)

Mike Pniewski: Tom Zito

Quotes 

• Tom Zito : You know how a Sandhog measures progress? A man a mile. 'Cause that's the death rate down there. Electrocutions, cave-ins, decapitations. Every mile of rock we move, we lose one of our own.

  Detective Don Flack : If a guy works up top, answer me one question: what was Pete Riggs doing down there? 'Cause he wasn't working.

• Tom Zito : [a "sandhog", being interviewed at the site]  If it's deeper than a grave and it's in New York City, the sandhogs built it. Commuter tunnels, subway tunnels, water tunnels. Without us, there's no New York City.
