This documentary explains how skyscrapers were built in the 1910s without modern elevators, long before today’s vertical construction systems existed. Workers hauled steel beams, bricks, tools, and concrete by hand, pulley systems, hoists, and temporary lifts, often climbing dozens of floors multiple times a day. We break down how materials were moved upward floor by floor, how labor was organised, and why exhaustion and accidents were constant threats. With minimal safety standards and intense deadlines, crews relied on physical endurance and coordination to keep projects moving. From early steel-frame buildings to record-breaking construction speeds, this breakdown reveals how human effort — not machines — made the first skyscrapers possible, and why the job was far more dangerous than most people realise.
