is there a man buried in the Brooklyn Bridge?

Although many people died while making the Brooklyn bridge, there are no confirmed tales of people dying and being sealed up into the foundation

to answer the ? yes there are people that have been buried in the brooklyn bridge and yes it has been documented workers fell it to the form while the concrete was being poured as far as damage to the structure the body fills the space and the concrete fills around it and also the body is compressed look into the deaths while building the bridge

Two reasons why not:

1) If a man fell into wet cement, an amount of the cement proportional to his mass would splatter everywhere (Archimedes) and someone would notice

2) The bridge would have internal structural damage

yes there is.

He probabally fell into one of the forms when they were pouring the cement.

Same thing happened in the city where I live. they were building a bridge, around 1910-1915 era, and a man fell inside one of the forms. And no this is not a myth, it was a documented fact.

(edit) oh, ON the cement, Well, I'm sure if that happened, they'd clean up the debris eventually.

Nah can't be true, if he fell and people saw him fall he would have been pulled out. If he was found half buried in the cement when it got harden they still have to break it up and take him out for a proper burial. If nobody did anything even when they saw or knew some one fell in, that's just messed up, LMOA!

If the movie is not based of a true story, then no its not true.

Probably not. There is no record of this happening, but the records are not complete. Here is a website devoted to the people who died building the Brooklyn Bridge. You can read about how they died:

A decomposed body in hardened concrete would create a void that would severely compromise the integrity of the structure. Any engineer would never allow this to occur, even if someone did, if fact, fall to their death into the wet concrete. They would have to be extracted at some point or risk structural failure.

7 men were buried in the poured concrete of the sydney, oh bridge. Attorney jack vissing in jeffersonville, in said that his grandmother maude and another woman named dorothy phillips actually saw the platform break on the louisville municipal bridge(2nd street bridge) and 16 men fell to their death and were buried in the poured concrete of one of the pillars. Attorney jack vissing's dad was the mayor of jeffersonville, in for 20 years

There are a number of them. During construction, especially of the piers, there was no way to recover a worker who fell in, and the guys who did the underwater work were frequently lost. Large construction was incredibly dangerous in those days.

It's likely just folklore.

Think of it this way: when concrete is being poured, there are lots of folks around, particularly while it's still wet. If someone fell in, there would be lots of co-workers around to pull him out. Also, he would probably be able to "swim" a bit, to pull himself to an edge.

UPDATE

To Jax, can you provide a website or other source that confirms your statement?
