Roman Mars looks at a famous photo of men posing on machinery. The image was taken during the reversal of the Chicago River in 1899. He says there were countless other photographs depicting similarly awe-inspiring feats of engineering prowess that we have never seen. But those feats never got finished because they were, you could say, failures. See episode 86 true believers.
