Even without audio, these unforgettable images are still fascinating. Note at 00:31 that the rolls of steel wires used in the construction are from the Roebling company, named after its founder John Roebling, who - along with his son Washington - built the Brookyn Bridge across the East River in New York in ca 1879.
