Holy cow! And where are the safety helmets?! And guess what, no safety nets! And from the Empire State Building web site:
How many people died while building the Empire State Building?
Though rumors of hundreds of people dying on the work site circulated during the time of its construction, official records state that only five workers were killed: one worker was struck by a truck; a second fell down an elevator shaft; a third was hit by a hoist; a fourth was in a blast area; and a fifth fell off a scaffold

And that after more than 7,000,000 hours of labor. Sort of makes you wonder about why we need OSHA.
