ESB vs B-25

Great write-up, thanks! Did they mention the time a B-25 crashed into the Empire State Building? A B-25 crashed into the 79th floor on July 28, 1945 killing 14 people; one elevator plunged 1000 feet but the operator survived.

The Empire State Building at W 33rd and 5th Ave in Manhattan's 86th floor is 1050 feet above the city. The top of the dirigible mast reaches 102 stories, 1472 feet high. The building weighs 70-80,000 tons. Five people died during its construction.
