The Hoover Dam produces approximately 2 gigawatts when running fully, so around 700,000 homes.
It took 600 people and 14 years to build the Brooklyn Bridge.
It was a public works project, a water reservoir, a hydroelectric project and it was also a scenic and recreational enhancement project that was created during the great depression and was completed under budget and three years ahead of schedule in 1936.
It provided jobs during the depression, it provided a water reserve that spurred growth and agricultural irrigation, it provided cheap hydroelectric power, it ended flood damage and it provided a mighty fine recreational fishing hole.
There were a total of 114 deaths associated with the building of the Hoover Dam.
The official figure however, is 96. Figures other than the official figure vary from the official 96 deaths to 112-114. According to the website of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, figures higher than 96 are including additional deaths such as deaths prior to the authorization of the dam's construction, deaths of nearby workers that may or may not have been directly involved with the project, deaths of workers who died of causes unrelated to the project, and deaths of family members of the dam's construction workers. The Bureau of Reclamation also points out on it's site that despite myth and rumor to the contrary, there are no bodies buried within the concrete of Hoover Dam.
