Video: History of the Brooklyn Bridge
If you like your Brooklyn history lessons set to a Coldplay soundtrack, the latest offering on YouTube is for you. In the four minutes and twenty seconds of the song "Warning Sign", the documentary manages to squeeze in lots of details about how the Brooklyn Bridge was built. For example, did you know that the bridge cost $15.1 million to construct--and that 27 people died during its construction? Didn't think so. Also, learn about the "deadly secret" that was almost the bridge's undoing.

Me neither. Maybe they took it down cause it uses a Coldplay song? You're not supposed to upload copyrighted material to youtube...

Thank you, Coldplay, for interfering with educational short documentaries for which nobody is going to make any income (thereby not really "ripping you off" after all).
