Hoover Dam
I remember back in my home town, we have a dam but it was small. Seeing this dam was up there on my list of amazing structures. I wonder how many people died making this.
I had to look it up. 96 people officially died from the construction. When you add in other deaths (such as pneumonia), the number is over 100. https://io9.gizmodo.com/5893183/who-is-buried-in-the-hoover-dam
Amazing. I didn't know that information. We passed by the hoover dam ... We didn't really get to know the history of it.
I didn't know that info either. Because of your photo and comment I looked it up and learned something. So thank you!
absolutely stunning!
