While it's not clear from the description in the feature, the picture is from an episode titled The Great Molasses Flood of 1919. Eye protection is probably
not warranted in that case.

James,
I agree that safety glasses and perhaps goggles would have been appropriate. By the way if you watch any of the popular home improvement TV shows you will be appalled by the lack of PPE as well as noncompliance with just about every commonly
accepted safety practice.
What a shame that the young woman in the picture is not wearing eye protection! ... Jim
