Building the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco required a lot of bravery. There was an unspoken rule in the 1930s about high-steel bridge building projects like this one—Engineers should anticipate one death among the employees for every $1 million spent. The $35 million Gold Gate Bridge, on the other hand, had a stellar safety record, with just 11 fatalities.
At least 19 individuals are said to have been saved thanks to a massive net hanging underneath the construction site. The Bridge employees’ survival is a marvel of forethought, and according to the media, a new net is being erected to prevent suicides which have been prevalent over the years.
