Construction Workers Lunching on a Crossbeam - 1932

I saw this photo @ Anant's place in Maastricht. You could hardly find such an adventurous workplace (rather workspace) nowadays :-). Quite sure that Environment and Health Care & Safety (EH&S) folks @ this site would have had to resign from their job on the spot :-) Jay was very right about the description except that it's not empire state building but Rockefeller Center in New York. Here is photo and description:



This iconic photo is one of the most famous images ever shot. Construction workers take a break from their work on the RCA Building at Rockefeller Center in New York to have lunch atop a steel beam 800 feet above ground. The photo was taken Sept. 29, 1932.
