A construction worker at a high-rise building in downtown Los Angeles fell 53 stories to his death and landed on the back end of a moving car.





This was in 2016

Construction of the building proper began on January 21, 1929.[54] The Carnegie Steel Company provided the steel beams, the first of which was installed on March 27; and by April 9, the first upright beams had been set into place.[64] The steel structure was "a few floors" high by June 1929, 35 floors high by early August,[64] and completed by September.[20] Despite a frantic steelwork construction pace of about four floors per week,[4] no workers died during the construction of the skyscraper's steelwork.[4][65] Chrysler lauded this achievement, saying, "It is the first time that any structure in the world has reached such a height, yet the entire steel construction was accomplished without loss of life".[65] In total, 391,881 rivets were used, and approximately 3,826,000 bricks were manually laid[4] to create the non-loadbearing walls of the skyscraper.[66] Walter Chrysler personally financed the construction with his income from his car company.[67] The Chrysler Building's height officially surpassed the Woolworth's on October 16, 1929, thereby becoming the world's tallest structure.[68]
