The hoover dam weighs 6.6 millions ton. Which is part of the new deal that president Roosevelt promised in his election. It took about 16,000 men and women worked on the project,about 3,500 people were employed at any specific time.This figure does not include deaths by other means including heat, heart problems and curiously, pneumonia. Another estimate is 112 and that supposedly includes a longer time frame than just the construction period.
