You have the right video in mind, but those guys weren't very good at throwing or catching the rivets. Watch some of the documentaries on the history channel, you see the ironworkers on the skyscrapers throwing hot rivets. Imagine what one of them would do after dropping 100 stories. Also in that video, watch the lack of safety equipment. No glasses, no machine guards, why it's a wonder any of them live through the day!
