How America’s Skyline Was Built by Men Who Risked Everything

This documentary reveals how America’s skyline was built by men who risked everything, long before modern safety standards existed. In the early 20th century, ironworkers balanced on narrow steel beams hundreds of feet above the ground, assembling skyscrapers with no harnesses, minimal protection, and constant danger. We break down the brutal working conditions, deadly accident rates, and the courage it took to shape cities like New York and Chicago. Many workers accepted extreme risk out of economic necessity, pride, and skill passed down through generations. Using historical accounts and engineering insight, this breakdown exposes the human cost behind iconic skylines — and the sacrifices made to build the cities we take for granted today.
