이 사진은 건물의 광고를 위해 일부러 꾸며진 사진이란다.  빔아래에는 심지어 안전장치도 만들어서 사진촬영을 했단다.
난 그동안 이 사진을 보면 트라우마에 걸려 사진을 볼수도 없었을 뿐만아니라 사진만 보고도 고소공포증에 걸린거만큼
불안해 했었는데.....속았다.  미국...거대한 속임수.

Photo buffs know the truth behind the classic photo: It was staged. The men in the picture were real ironworkers. They did build the structure that is now the 22nd tallest building in New York City and home to NBC studios. But rather than capture them in the midst of their lunch break, the photographer posed them on the beam for multiple takes — images that were intended as advertising for the new building. Some historians believe there was a sturdy level of the structure, then called the RCA building, just below the frame.

“You see the picture once, you never forget it," Rockefeller Center archivist Christine Roussel told Time magazine. But “the funniest part about the photographs," she said, "were they were done for publicity.”

<blockquote>The audacity of the 11 men in the famous photo, dubbed “Lunch atop a Skyscraper," is evident. But to this day, their identities are almost entirely unknown.</blockquote>

When the New York Post asked “Have you seen these men?” in 2003, hundreds of people responded to the call, certain that the workers in the photo were their relatives.

A similar declaration — “This is my dad on the far right and my uncle-in-law on the far left” — was written on a copy of the photo hung inside a pub in Galway, Ireland, where it captured the attention of Sean and Eamonn Ó Cualáin, brothers and documentary filmmakers. They wanted to find the man who wrote it, learn about his family and track down all the other men in the photo.

But despite their best efforts, their 2012 film Men at Lunch did not prove the man’s assertions about his family. They could not verify the names of most the workers or the often-told claim that the man in the center with a cigarette in his mouth is Peter Rice, a Mohawk iron worker and one of the many North American Indians who built New York City’s skyline.

With the help of Roussel, the brothers did track down two of the men in the photo: Joe Curtis, third from the right, and Joseph Eckner, third from the left. Little is known about either man.

<blockquote>The photographer behind the image is also a mystery.</blockquote>

Though many mistake the picture to be one from Lewis Hine, known for his photos of the Empire State Building and Ellis Island, there were multiple photographers shooting at Rockefeller Center that day. No one is certain who can claim the famous image.

To Sergio Furnari, the mystery surrounding the faces only adds to the allure. Furnari is an artist who has been creating sculptures based on the photo since the 1990s. The life-size sculpture took a year to make and was completed by Sergio Furnari a few weeks after Sept. 11, 2001. (Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)
