I love this video! Well narrated, short, sweet and to the point. I worked in the Flat Iron building in NYC. New Yorkers brag on it being the first skyscraper ever!

Where's is mention of the structural engineers who made tall buildings possible? You might want to research E.C. Shankland, Joachim Giaever, Corydon Purdy just to name a few. "EngineerGuySE"
