bodies in the bridge ☹

Building the Sydney Harbour Bridge was a dangerous business with 16 official deaths recorded — and three more mysteriously hushed up, according to this urban legend.

The tale goes that during construction, three contractors fell into the huge pylons and being itinerant workers, their disappearance wasn't noticed for weeks.

The legend goes that their bodies were too difficult to retrieve and they remain entombed in the pylons today.
