Men working on empire state building

I remember watching a show on the history channel about the construction of the empire state building, they also said how many workers died from falling, but I forget how many it was

 

Not many, really. Around 15-20, compared to other buildings of the era, was pretty low.

 

The book "High Steel" was very interesting. It focused mainly on two Locals in New York, as well as how they got there and such, past and present construction.
