Washington Roebling was the man to finish Brooklyn bridge. The bridge was initially designed by German immigrant John Augustus Roebling. While conducting surveys for the bridge project, Roebling sustained a crush injury to his foot when a ferry pinned it against a piling. Due to this injury, he developed tetanus infection resulting to his death. Before death, he had placed his 32-year-old son Washington Roebling in charge of the project.
