The American Empire State Building is 38 1 m high, and it only takes 1 year to complete. Who is the real infrastructure madman?

People are human because they have subjective initiative and can take the initiative to create. Empire State Building was built in 1930. If the lightning rod is not counted, its height is more than 380 meters.

There is no safety rope.

Crazy skyscraper competition

China has always claimed to be an infrastructure fanatic, but it can't stop other countries from being crazy about infrastructure. Some time ago, the United States, Trump and the President were deeply touched by the American dream of infrastructure. Take the Empire State Building, which was only used for more than a year, as an example.

People always see the beautiful appearance outside, but forget that the completion of this building is full of workers' blood. The final completion of this building is inseparable from the background of the Great Depression and the comparison of skyscrapers.

The Eiffel Tower, which is more than 300 meters high, actually predates him. Completed on 1898. However, he also launched a movement to build skyscrapers.

Twenty years after the completion of the Eiffel Tower, the American Life Insurance Building with a height of 2 13 meters landed. After another 20 years, the bank landed in Manhattan, which is more than 280 meters high.

Regarding the construction of the Empire State Building, it is still a bet between two big bosses. At that time, Chrysler, the founder of Leicester Company, made a bet with Lars Cobb, the major shareholder of General Motors, to see who could build the tallest building.

Without protective measures.

Chrysler wants to build a Chrysler building in downtown Manhattan.

Now that everyone has written a challenge, Rascobb can't give up. Therefore, he bought a piece of land on Fifth Avenue to prepare for his March into Gai Lou.

At that time, Rascobb found a builder, took out a pencil and put it in front of him, asking him: How high can you build the tallest building? ? The name of the builder is. He thought for a moment and said to him, it looks like 80 stories. ?

Rascobb just told him: You just need to do it with confidence and don't worry about money. ? With such a promise, Ram began to build the Empire State Building. Although it is simple to make a decision at first, it is extremely difficult to establish it.

A building built with life

When the building was completed, more than 3500 workers were working at the same time. They are basically immigrants from Ireland and Italy and some local steel workers. The first floor was fine when it was built, but the more it was built, the more dangerous it became. Why did so many people flock to it?
