This is a beautifully detailed video about the construction methods of old.  The commentary really brings in a ton of understanding also

This video is better than I had expected



Is that a hand stacked wall?

This video is more steel, but they used a bunch of wood for support.  Not sure where to put this video

So there were only five deaths during all of this, which is odd to consider when we can see the dangerous work in less than ideal conditions.  This is big pieces moving around at a height that is deadly on its own accord.

Yes this building is metal, but they accomplished much with brick and wood
