America's first mega-project was actually the transcontinental railway. 3000 miles coast to coast built 20 years earlier than the Brooklyn Bridge.

I am so impressed by the history of this project and the courage of its builder that I hope I will be able to see this bridge up close. I will try to get a closer look at it

I have read David McCullough's "The Great Bridge" which goes into great--sometimes torturous detail about the construction. There is no way to catch all of the astonishing details of its construction. What I did not know--and it is so terribly Brooklyn-like--was everyone terrified to cross it in a panic from the reports that the bridge might fall down. I think it made perfect sense that it took PT Barnum and his circus walking across the bridge to give the green light that the bridge was solid. If it could stand up to pacaderms, it could hold someone's fat sister Sue and her even fatter family. I personally consider the PT Barnum story the best of them all!! Fine work! Thanks for brightening my day, too! 💯

The engineers back then are on a different level; everything was hand drawn and visualized in there head. Plus everything was hand calculated, compared to now we; have all kind of computer simulation software.

Brook bridge is so iconic, and the views of lower manhattan from the bridge is unmatched

I can really respect Washington for working with them . I cannot say much more cause this the only video I seen about him and the bridge but seems like a boss I would work for

This is one reason Roebling was the best bridge builder in the World ! The Brooklyn Bridge is more famous , than its older sister (16 years older) , but she is still a beauty to the Cincinnati area residents . They know theyre about home when she pops into view at the bottom of "The Cut in the Hill" !

Going to have to argue that the Erie Canal was America's first megaproject, but the Brooklyn Bridge is, of course, awesome!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's not really music. It's not a song, it's just "ambient sound".

One has to wonder how he convinced the local government to do this project.

@gardengnome3249 10 ай бұрын

How about that railway line from the west coast to the east or the telegraph line same place? Don't these classify as mega projects? Damn sure I would not want to pay for them. Oh and more importantly they came before a freaking bridge.

"The Brooklyn Bridge is America's most iconic structure" *The Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, Hoover Dam, Empire State Building, Pentagon, Chrysler Building, White House and Hollywood Sign all need to have a word with you in private.*
