Can you imagine how many tons of pigeon poop would build up on that thing?

Something else that's impressive is the roof tops of the surrounding buildings. They're clean with no junk piled up like I've seen on buildings today.

I want to see the 1932 drone they used to make this photo.

Good God!   And in the same year, you can see photos of the guys building the Empire State Building.  800 feet up walking the high iron, no safety belt.   Good God.

Here is a strange fact for you- that communications tower?  Not covered by OSHA. Falls under regulations of the Federal Communications Commission once it is built and operating.  My company used to provide certified welding inspectors for work on those.  If the tower- or any other tower in that immediate area was operating, our staff wore an RF energy detector.  If there was enough energy there was a cowled robe made of fine stainless mesh to keep you from getting RF burns.  We also used a cable grab system while climbing.
