Tokyo Tower
It is said that the work site during the construction of Tokyo Tower was incredibly harsh by today’s standards.
There were no safety nets to prevent falls, no safety belts for workers, and no handrails, yet the construction workers were performing tasks at high altitudes.
They apparently worked as long as the wind speed was below 15m/s. A wind speed of 15m/s means the wind travels 15 meters per second, which translates to 54km/h! This is a situation where strong wind advisories are issued.
It’s strong enough to shake entire large trees, making it difficult to walk against the wind, and at sea, the crests of waves break, and white foam is blown away by the wind. It’s comparable to the strong wind area of a typhoon.
Despite this harsh environment, the workers continued their work.
Unfortunately, one construction worker fell to his death due to the strong wind, but the annual number of deaths in the construction industry at that time was 1,846, which makes one even more amazed at the enormity of the Tokyo Tower construction.
Thanks to these many workers, it became a magnificent world-class tower and remains a popular tourist attraction even today.
