A father and his son lost their lives during the construction of the Hoover Dam, 14 years apart.

As data from the United States Bureau of Reclamation has shown, more than 21,000 people worked on Hoover Dam’s building, and there have been 96 deaths reported on the site. J.G. Tierney was the first death ever reported to the job site. He and other of his colleagues died by drowning while performing a geological survey.

If this wasn’t tragic enough for Tierney’s family, his son, Patrick, also lost his life in the same place, but 14 years apart. Patrick died on the exact same day as his father, and that was the first death reported at Hoover Dam’s construction.

Patrick Tierney fell from an electrical tower, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
