Engineering Ground Zero

What different "trades" (types of construction work) are featured in this video? Name at least three.

1. glass makers
2. metal workers (the nameplates)
3. construction workers
4. concrete mixing/generation
5. general construction/contractors
6. plumbing/electrical/heating system workers
7. stone workers

What aspect of the project is most interesting to you? Why is that?
I really liked the wiers for the memorial. I thought it was interesting how a part of the project that seems so small could actually be a major component of the project, to the point that it being wrong would ruin the entire memorial.


(as a side note, look for the steel cable that breaks at just after the 4 minute mark... yeow! that could take a limb off)
