Lunch atop a Skyscraper


Is a famous grayscale

Formerly attributed to "unknown", it has been credited to Charles C. Ebbets since 2003[3][4] and erroneously to Lewis Hine.

The photo was taken on September 20, 1932,on the 69th floor of the RCA Building during the last months of construction..
Photograph taken during construction of 30 Rockefeller Plaza in Manhattan, New York City, United States.
I lik this photographia Because i am so afraid heights and i  can´t believe that they´re whithout unprotection.
The photograph depicts eleven men eating lunch, seated on a girder with their feet dangling 840 feet (260 meters) above the New York City streets.

Throughout his time as Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson used the image as a motivational tool, showing it to all his players when they made the team. Noting that there are eleven men in the picture, Sir Alex said, "What is the greatest thing a team can do? They can sacrifice their life for each other and sometimes when one falls two can save him."
The original negative of the photograph is stored in a temperature-controlled facility under Pennsylvania’s Iron Mountain. Johnston described the world famous black and white photograph as 'a piece of American history.'
