The story of the building of the Mac is quite something. I saw a documentary on it, I believe on History (back when they did history).
Its an awe inspiring sight. You can see it for miles before you get to it.

We used to have to watch a docu on the Mac when I was in school. It was quite interesting. It didn’t mention the one construction worker who died (disappeared, technically, no one saw him go, but he probably fell in and the concrete poured in on top of him) or the rebate from the insurance company (actuaries predicted two deaths instead off one, so they paid back a portion of the underwriting fees), but there was footage, such as the huge queue of hunters waiting to take the ferry over to the UP.
