Designed by General Roebling....not. Designed by John Roebling and completed by his son (Gen.) Washington Roebling. Both photos at 0:57 are of the same man, at different ages. Not Father and son as stated.The father was not a General.
@stratdelux09 : I concur--just made the same observation on viewing this video for the first time. For a correct picture of John A. Roebling (1806-1869), see the Wikipedia or Structurae page for John A. Roebling.
Washington achieved the rank of brevet Colonel during the Civil War, so...not a General either.
The pictures shown are indeed Washington at different ages.
