“Only five deaths…” (Empire State building)

I didn’t realize that entire building went up and just a little bit more than a year…!

Pretty amazing - I know that 0SHA can be over bearing nowadays, but the complete lack of safety, harnesses and gear just looks crazy. Many of the construction workers up high on those beams were wearing fedora hats.

Between government regulations and cost we could never build it again. Heck after 9-11 we should have build the towers back exactly as they were. But only after nuking the entire middle east.
