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.
