Interesting document on the start of building the Empire State Building, using what appears to be all the steel in the world.. Seriously, that is a whole lot of it. Somewhat antiquated building methods too. Slower, but ill bet those orders were built to stay down. Either this is part of a series or its shortened as the film stops when there is a "setback on the 6th floor". What happened? Hnmmm.
