Found this rather interesting: - On July 28 1945 a US Army B-25 bomber crashes into the Empire State Building between the 78th and 79th floors. An engine plunges down an elevator shaft, sparking a fire in the basement ![]() Eleven people in the building are killed, in addition to the three man bomber crew. Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver survived a plunge of 75 stories inside an elevator, which still stands as the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall recorded. ![]() The building still stands today - 65 years later ![]() http://www.damninteresting.com/the-b-25-that-crashed-into-the-empire-state-building http://timelines.com/1945/7/28/b-25-bomber-crashes-into-empire-state-building-killing-14-people :D |
