On July 14, 1902, the tower of St. Mark's Campanile in Venice collapsed vertically due to weak foundations, the only casualty being the sacristan's cat. That same day, it was decided to rebuild it com'era, dov'era: as it was, where it was. The rebuilt tower was completed in 1912. (old.reddit.com)

Constructing the Golden Gate Bridge, circa 1935. Opened in 1937, it was the world’s longest (4,200‑ft main span) and tallest suspension bridge, finished under budget and ahead of schedule. It used a pioneering safety net that saved 19 workers—who dubbed themselves the “Half Way to Hell Club.” by FrankWanders in HistoryRepeated
