Washington Roebling become handicapped by given brief sketch :-

• Engineer John Roebling and his son, Washington, built the world’s then-longest suspension bridge in New York City back in 1870. The bridge was completed in 1883, after 13 years.

• Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished and how the obstacles could be overcome. The project started well, but when it was only a few months underway a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was also paralyzed and disabled by his work on the site.
