The Empire State building rose to become the world's tallest man-made structure at a time when dreams were in short supply. Planned during the 1920s, construction was almost grounded by the Depression until the "Cathedral of Dreams" came to symbolize the indomitable American spirit.

"Two stories a day" became the mission. Up went the rivets, the steel and the fearless men. In just two years the miracle of engineering was finished, justifying a nation's belief in itself. Here is the colorful story of this beloved building, including the innovations it inspired, and its enduring popularity today. From the first plans to the final rivet, explore the incredible story of the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING.

The Empire State Building, Modern Marvel's didn't seem at all that interesting until I watched one such movie (not the same) on the History Channel.
This movie will show you the secrets behing Manhattan's now tallest Building, and one of the most sohisticated designed Skyscrapers.
Being an Architectural designer for the ESB, I have found that this movie will show you deep into the crebicbs of Architectural matters.
I hope you find this Review an enchanting one, to help all Marvel's, and the world around it.
