ABOUT 'ENDEX.COM'
The
Endex.com
website is produced by Gary Feuerstein, the head
of the engineering firm Endex Engineering, based in Blodgett, Oregon, USA. The Endex.com
website has a section on the Brooklyn Bridge, New York City.The Brooklyn Bridge, for which construction
began in 1870, is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the USA.
It was
designed by John Augustus Roebling, of Trenton, New Jersey. After construction
started, Roebling's foot was badly injured by a ferry crashing into a wharf, and
he sadly died of tetanus within a few weeks. Roebling's son Washington succeeded
him, but was tragically struck with caisson disease (known colloquially as The
Bends) and became severely disabled. His wife Emily became his assistant,
learning engineering and acting as the link with his on site team. Emily was the
first person to cross the bridge when it was completed in 1883. Washington
Roebling was too ill to attend the opening ceremony, conducted by President
Chester Arthur and Governor Grover Cleveland in front of 14,000 invitees. In
recognition of the great engineering achievement of Washington Roebling and his
father, the President and Governor on the same day visited Washington Roebling
in his home to congratulate him.
The Brooklyn Bridge section of the Endex.com website is organized into the following main parts: Brooklyn Bridge Facts History & Information, Brooklyn Bridge Web Links, Brooklyn Bridge News & Articles, Brooklyn Bridge Gallery, Brooklyn Bridge Poetry, Brooklyn Bridge Names, and Brooklyn Bridge Fatalities.
