I’d been told by my father that many of the workers were Indians (native Americans)

“The project involved more than 3,500 workers at its peak, including 3,439 on a single day, August 14, 1930. Many of the workers were Irish and Italian immigrants, with a sizable minority of Mohawk ironworkers from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal.”

There’s a video of a lunatic doing stunts at the top of an 840-foot smokestack in Romania; you can find it by googling “smokestack unicycle”. I have an OK head for heights, but it’s not easy for me to watch.

The closest thing to this I ever did was to ride the roller coaster that sits on top of the New York-New York hotel casino in Las Vegas. The favorite way to experience that ride is at night.

Stunning photos - thanks for posting - I'm still nauseous :)
Ā Ā When I was a kid back in the 50s I could go out on the observation deck w/o a problem.
Fast forward to the 70s and I can't take a step out there. Have no idea why.

A great many of those ironworkers, and similar construction workers, were immigrants.
They came here to ... ummm ... oh, yeah: WORK.
