Beam attraction inspired by iconic photo taken 91 years agoThe attraction was inspired by a photo taken by an unknown photographer in 1932. In the photo, 11 construction workers have lunch as they sit on a steel beam suspended 850 feet in the air. The search to verify this information was included in the 2012 documentary “Men at Lunch,” directed by Seán Ó Cualáin. Possible identification for two construction workers in iconic photoThe documentary filmmakers have also set their sights on two construction workers in the photo thanks to a chance encounter at an Irish pub in 2010.
