The Crystal Palace had the first major installation of public toilets, [26] the Retiring Rooms, in which sanitary engineer George Jennings installed his "Monkey Closet" flushing lavatory [27] (initially just for men but later catering for women also). The Crystal Palace Company also commissioned Negretti and Zambra to produce stereographs of the interior and grounds of the building. There, they learn that the aliens were worshipped as deities and enter a chamber containing thirteen crystal skeletons. A number of production photos and sensitive documents pertaining to the film's production budget were also stolen from Spielberg's production office.

After he learned that Joseph Stalin was interested in psychic warfare, he decided to have Soviets as the villains and the aliens to have psychic powers. These main gutters drained at either end into the cast iron columns, which also had an ingenious dual function: each was cast with a hollow core, allowing it to double as a concealed down-pipe that carried the storm-water down into the drains beneath the building. However this caused a problem with sparrows becoming a nuisance, and shooting was out of the question inside a glass building.An extra in the film, Tyler Nelson, violated his nondisclosure agreement in an interview with the Edmond Sun on September 17, 2007, which was then picked up by the mainstream media. The decision was confirmed on 3 November 2020; Newham Borough Council gave permission for a change of use for the building in December 2020. Spielberg conceived the idea because of real life figures such as Juan Perón in Argentina, who protected Nazi war criminals.

Because normal cast glass is brittle and has low tensile strength, there was a risk that the weight of any excess water build-up on the roof might have caused panes to shatter, showering shards of glass onto the patrons, ruining the valuable exhibits beneath, and weakening the structure. Other reference for the visual effects work included government tapes of nuclear tests, and video reference of real prairie dogs shot in 1080p by Nathan Edward Denning. During development of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, this idea was incorporated into Frank Darabont's script, with Indiana and Marion having a 13-year-old daughter.While en route to Akator, Indy retakes the skull from the Soviets and escapes from them alongside Marion, Ox, Mutt and Mac, who claims to be a double agent. and Marcus Brody (played in the previous films by Denholm Elliott, who died in 1992) died before the film's events, and briefly shows Connery as Henry Jones Sr. Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Elton John, Eric Clapton, and The Beach Boys played the Bowl during its heyday. In 1895, the African Exhibition at the Crystal Palace included African animals, birds and reptiles, and a group of eighty Somalis. It incorporated many breakthroughs, offered practical advantages that no conventional building could match and, above all, embodied the spirit of British innovation and industrial might that the Great Exhibition was intended to celebrate.
