I remember each piece going in place. It was always in the news. Later, a girl I had a grade school crush on's father was the "transportation director". When someone got to the top but was too scared to come back down via the capsule cars, he would have to walk them down the stairs to the base.

I would suggest that no one would dare suggest, and certainly not build, such a project today. The foresight and courage of the planners and builders is a monument in itself.
