The Brooklyn Bridge is a badass suspension bridge that connects Brooklyn to Manhattan in New York City. It was built in the late 19th century by some seriously determined engineers, including John Augustus Roebling and his wife Emily Warren Roebling. Despite facing all sorts of crazy challenges like caisson disease, fires, and cable mishaps, they managed to pull off this architectural masterpiece. The bridge's main span was the longest in the world at the time, and it still stands as a symbol of technological awesomeness. Plus, it's got a sweet promenade where you can stroll above the traffic and take in the killer views.
