This picture gives me butterflies everytime I see it. Is it real?

probably, i dont think the had much safety back then. thats pretty crazy to be on the edge of a 1,000+ foot building..-- Pianist99 ( talk) 16:19, 1 May 2009 (UTC) reply

--- Yes it is real as it gets and at that time they did not wear or have safety equipment, many workers fell from extreme heights to their deaths. In this photo you will see a group of empire state building construction workers "hanging on a limb" while enjoying their lunch.

What I would like to know about the photo is if we can identify who that man is.-- 24.26.83.88 ( talk) 17:14, 1 May 2009 (UTC) reply

He'd likely be dead by now given his apparent age (40s?) in the photo which was taken 70 year ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.66.39 ( talk) 22:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC) reply
