Welcome to History's Not Boring by Kidopoly.com! Join your hosts
Mira and Finn as we travel back to the 1930s to explore the
tallest, most famous skyscraper on Earth! Did you know the giant
Empire State Building was built during the Great Depression in
just 14 months? That is incredibly fast! To make this tower reach
the clouds, it took 10 million bricks, 730 tonnes of mighty
steel, and an army of 3,400 workers. But the real superheroes of
the sky were the fearless Mohawk ironworkers! These brave
builders walked on narrow steel beams 1,000 feet above New York
City—with absolutely no safety ropes! Imagine balancing in the
clouds like that! When the building finally opened in 1931,
President Hoover magically turned on the bright lights all the
way from Washington, D.C., just by pressing a button! It became
so famous that a giant movie ape named King Kong even climbed it
on the big screen! Get ready to look up, up, up and discover the
sky-high secrets of this amazing building!
