On Tuesday, September 10, 10:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m., ET and again on
Wednesday, September 11, 2:00 a.m. - 3:00 a.m. ET, The History Channel will
have a program on the Chrysler Building as part of its "Modern Marvels"
series.  Both Don Friedman and Eric Hammarberg of LZA Technology's NY office
were interviewed for this program.  For those outside the New York City
area, please check your local papers for times.

Here is The History Channel's description of the program:
        The 1,046-foot Chrysler Building in New York City, erected between
1928 and 1930, was the world's tallest edifice--until the Empire State
Building eclipsed it in 1931! Since then, this Art Deco masterpiece has
become one of the most beloved skyscrapers on the city skyline. Financed by
auto tycoon Walter P. Chrysler and designed by architect William Van Alen,
the private office building was constructed by more than 2,000 men. Find out
why it was the first--and last--skyscraper Van Alen designed.
For those of you who are not aware of our involvement, LZAT's Historic
Preservation Group was responsible for the major restoration of the
building's facade and spire.
