The Brooklyn Bridge New York City United States of America North America. Brooklyn Bridge . Built between 1870 and 1883 , and initially named as " Bridge New York and Brooklyn ," was the first suspension bridge in the world built on steel, conviertiendo arguably one of the main icons of the city.

Six hundred people worked on this project which was designed by John Roebling , who died before the beginning of its construction. His son took over , but was immobilized on a bed suffering decompression sickness while submerged in the waters of the Hudson to help in excavations. In the end, the wife of the son of John , Emily Warren Roebling took over the work and was the first person to cross the bridge once open to the public . A few months after being opened to the public , a woman stumbled as she walked by him and screamed. Quickly it was rumored that the bridge was sinking and people ran stampeded , killing 12 of them .

The cars pass through the bottom of the bridge, while above is a pedestrian area and a bike path by passing real kamikazes do not hesitate to run over or yelling gibberish to any tourist who interfere in their way.
