In your rock concert show you forgot laser beam on the screen. Bad sho,, i quit

The original sound would have made it so much better ffs!

It still is !

its just an absolute zoo now good for elite sucks for the people giving all the money away to them !

Wow Toronto was a such a boring dump back then. Looks really lame

Great history

Amazing how those builders have no fear of heights

My G- pops built the cn tower back in the day!

I remember as a small child (4 -5 years old) watching them build the CN Tower with helicopters. It was amazing.

At the 2:00 mark i give a “hats off” to whoever was behind the soundtrack on this as it travels through a Sabbath intro proceeding into a Nick Mason in Pompeii drum solo followed by a Waters bass solo…. Keyboards & then Ian Anderson on the flute!!! Hilarious and priceless!

I've seen this eye sore many times when I lived in update NY. What a collosal waste of money and resources, not to mention all those middle class families that were uprooted so Rockefeller could have his utopia.

If Metrolinx had built it it would open in 2028.

That's got to be the most annoying soundtrack ever!

local 353 I.B.E.W. Ainsworth electric

Dang, I remember going downtown two, three times a month with my father to watch the progress. It was such an impressive feat to behold as it progressed level by level. When it opened to the public we waited over 9 hours in line to finally make it to the top. Scared the livin 💩outta me but totally worth it.

The 'music' is obnoxious

Steel workers had balls of… well, you know

The days when you couldn’t order a beer on a Sunday

You notice what's missing in this whole video, no disrespectful Indian immigrants

The music

Totally a well done video ... TY to ALL the brave workers who risk themselves working at such heights. ... was there ever a total of the amt of people that made this accomplishment . And who was the name of the worker who stood last on the very top and raised our beautiful Canadian flag ? .( how often does it get replaced with a new one ? )

Easy the biggest turd ever built on the face of the earth. What an eyesore.😢

great achievement. terrible documentary. annoying narrator and too loud annoying music

I was lucky enough to watch the tower being built from start to its completion. I worked next to the rail yards and had a clear view of its construction. I especially recall the use of the Sikorsky Crane (helicopter) putting the final parts on the top.

Wonder how many lost their life while building this monster??

Eh i..💆.old tools...📡🐿️🪜🧰🇨🇦

That's a long time for being the tallest

man , this sound track is 🔥🔥🔥

Not a single woman working, how sexist of those men to just get the job done!

very cool documentary from a basically-albany resident

Great old doc, with classic music, and voices.

Loc721. 🇨🇦IRONWORKERS 👍🇨🇦

Wow, terrible quality for a film filmed no earlier than summer 1978 and possibly made in the early 1980s.

I always refer it to the World Financial Centre.

Isn’t this 516 5th Ave?

No safety vest or orange shirts at all

No skydome neither yes i still call it that 😅😊

Amazing what we men do

I'm born in 68. I saw them build it. I went up in the Bank of Montreal tower, way up in what was the tall silver bldg with a bright blue M on the top. I looked across at it and the observation deck was just a skeleton still, and the cement was still being poured to complete the lower section. Then I went up in it wyen it was open for business, and looked across to the blag, but it was way lower now to me. Then we went to the skydeck and it was way down there, and cars were dots. Been up the tower a few times over the years. Theres a nice park under it now. Used to be train yards.

I was here in 1977😊

When toronto was a great place to move to

And after it was built: steve guildault climbed up it for greenpeace, got arrested and is now our environmental minister.

That's got to the worst band ever, hope this wasn't their break out moment.

The CN Tower made enough money to cover their costs to build it, but the Dome never did

Forgot what a monumental achievement this was for the City and the Country. My dad worked on Adelaide Street and dragged me out of sr kindergarten to watch them put the top on with "Olga". Now that I'm older I am very grateful for being able to witness this part of Toronto history. On a sidenote, I wonder if the guy who jumped off with a parachute and made it ( I believe he was an ironworker) was in the documentary. A legendary figure and they used to have an exhibit about him in the tower for a while.

As we have discovered in more recent years, corrodable steel rods and cables embedded into highly alkyline wet concrete that stays wet/moist for a LONG time after a thick section is poured- the steel corrodes inside the concrete and starts causing cracks as the rust takes up more space. Builders inserted steel rebar and anchors in terracotta ornamental bloks, keystones and cornices back in the 1920s-1930s era, and back filled empty facade wall cavities with mortar and concrete. The deterioration of the steel was already evident by te 1970s, with cracks and rust stains visible in the terracotta units. Ive seen renovations where they had to remove the facades' entre parapet wall cornice from that era and replace/rebuild it because the builders had used flat, bent steel bars as anchors, rebar rods and angle iron inside the masonry wall and terracotta, and the steel had all corroded badly from moisture wicking in- not to mention it was started by being encased in wet mortar, concrete and brickworjk to start with. The cables under tension embedded into the CN Tower's concrete "forever" has been corroding since day one and rust is like cancer, it keeps expanding.

Spent my honeymoon in Canada starting at Niagara Falls Oct9, 1995 and working through Ontario. Loved the CN tower the story of it and especially the glass floor. Some people were totally afraid of it while others , amazed at the sight looking down. Worth the time to see it. Thank you, my Canadian friends.

I didn't see any of those workers using fall protection. Occupational, health and safety has come along ways.

Good pay for the person who changes the Light Bulb ;-)

dose any body know the song name played at the end of the video?
