DescriptionFebruary 17, 1937:In February 1937, with three months to completion, only one worker had died on the Golden Gate Bridge construction project. That was a stunning number when at the time, the norm was one death for every $1 million of cost -- the Golden Gate was a $35 million project. The company also spent $125,000, a huge sum of money at the time, on a safety net to catch workers in a fall. That net saved the lives of 19 men, who later formed the Half-Way to Hell club. On Feb. 17, 1937 a heavy section of scaffolding holding 12 men crashed into the net and shredded it. There were 13 men affected by this. One man hung onto a beam (with his pipe still in his mouth by the way), until the rescued him. Twelve plunged into the bay, two were saved, 10 died. Social/Sharing |
