11 died making the Golden Gate bridge. 10 of them all at once.
You would think there would have been way more deaths building something of that scale that long ago.
pretty sure there was a lot more than 11 deaths in constructing the GG bridge
"Of eleven men killed from falls during construction, ten were killed (when the bridge was near completion) when the net failed under the stress of a scaffold that had fallen."
