Empire State

This is a DAK post but it does belong here:

About 10-15 years ago there was a very good documentary about the construction of the Empire State Building.
It was built in under 2 years and was a marvel in well organised engineering. I remember there were interviews with elderly Mohawk guys who'd help build (they are famously unafraid of heights).
Anyone remember it?
More importantly DAK where it could be found now?

Is it this one that's currently available on BBC iPlayer?

Timewatch - The Empire State Story -

First transmitted in 2001, this programme chronicles the construction of the Empire State Building in New York, which was the world's tallest skyscraper when opened in 1931.

The programme investigates the building's history through interviews with the people who contributed to the construction of this iconic building.
