#293763 Construction of the Empire State Building was one of the most remarkable feats of the 20th century. It took only 410 days to build (1930-1931), by 3,400 workers, many of them desperate for work at the height of the Depression. The work force was made up largely of immigrants.

#293858 I love watching shows like Modern Marvels that show how structures like this were built, especially ones like the Golden Gate and Brooklyn bridge.
Back then the only medical insurance was good balance, a strong grip and a bit of luck.:) Those guys were either crazy or had balls of steel, perhaps both. :D
