There is a great movie on the building of the Empire State building. Used to come on the history channel, but I could never get through it. Would have to walk out of the room. Unbelievable picture!

7. Oh god, just looking at that photo make me want to throw up.

I am deathly afraid of heights. I can't imagine what it was like for those workers, but the photographs are fantastic. I will always be amazed by them despite my vertigo.
