Absolutely amazing, well done at explaining everything. God bless the men and women who built this beautiful country we call home. God bless America 🇺🇸 our home sweet home

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

Amazing history of Brooklyn Bridge 👏👏👏

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

[chrisest]

Very impressive. Both the bridge and the presentation of the video.

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.

Very interesting history 👍
A pray 🙏 for all the lives lost during construction 🕊️

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

[CandiceMMartinez]

Thank you for this awesome presentation. ❤

As Americans, I think we often times forget our own achievements. We need stuff like like this to remind us of what we're capable of.

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

[hupego]

Very well done video, I went to NYC last week and see the bridge in person it’s amazing experience!

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! 💯

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" !

[evgeni-nabokov]

I can't believe the bridge was built in the 19th century.

[NiKiMa]

I came after watching the Short about Caissons

[noaly]

Incredible video! Very interesting and very well made! You earned yourself another subscriber!

[jvcolddayinhell]

Your short brought me here and it didn't disappoint!
Also what is the name of the music you used in this video?

[bruceprice]

Walked this bridge in 2012 9pm on a weekend. Came up the stairs brooklyn we seen a bum pissing on the subway wall entrance and got the he'll back to Manhattan

[craignunnallypurcell]

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