Visiting the Hoover Dam feels to me like visiting a rift into an alternate timeline—one in which we attempt enormous, absurd, starry-eyed projects… and achieve them, under budget and years ahead of schedule! I’d love to better understand the forces which made that possible.
Interesting/macabre to contemplate industrial accidents during construction. The exact number of fatalities seems to be somewhat difficult to track down, but the record here (broken down quite a bit) suggests the number was about 100 or so: https://www.usbr.gov/lc/hooverdam/history/essays/fat1935.html …
That's an extraordinary (& incredibly tragic) number - one hundred or so people who died due to falls, machinery accidents, in blasts, heat etc. Heat prostration alone was 13(!) people.
I wonder at how many more were injured, perhaps permanently disabled? Seems likely to have been many hundreds with major injuries.
