    Interesting ! I've heard so many myths about this pic, hope to see this documentary soon.

    Lon sa speir...means lunch in the sky in Gaelic.

    I have seen this photo before. It is amazing what humans can do when the need arises. A salute to those and all iron workers. Not something I could do.

    Do we know which building it is?

    Fantastic picture, and when you consider that the photographer needed both hands to operate the camera...lol...

    Ya jetman... its the GE building in New York, at the time it was the RCA building (1933) but when you look at the flip side of the pic its not as dramatic as it seems.
