Building the Hoover Dam – A New TED-Ed Lesson

Despite currently knowing the history of the building of the dam, I still discovered the video entertaining and useful. Overall, its a good summary of the dams construction. You would need to look elsewhere to actually dive into the engineering of the dam or the environmental impact of the dam..
Obviously, I cant believe of the Hoover Dam without likewise thinking about the famous dam trip scene in National Lampoons Vegas Vacation and The Highwaymen carrying out The Highwayman..

The lesson discusses why the dam was constructed, the short-term financial impact of its building and construction (21,000 people used by the project), the engineering of the dam, the environmental effect, and the human toll of its building. While it touches on all of those topics, the emphasis of the lesson is on how many people benefitted from its building and the individuals who passed away throughout its building and construction.
