Plane Hits Empire State Building

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.

a B-25 bomber!! If that can't take down a building nothing can
-
Hahahahaha! :D

@oldskhool4eva If I recall correctly, the plane was near the end of its journey, and thus was not carrying full tank of fuel. Even filled, a B-25 has a capacity of 974 US Gallons with auxiliary wing tanks filled. Other add-on configurations allowed this to approximately double, but still not much. Conversely, a Boeing 747-222 has a fuel capacity of 23,980 US Gallons - so it's got a lot more to burn.
-
So why didn't the fuel cause the building to collapse as that's the new trend in 2001

...when ESB was the tallest building in the world..

@gilliancarson should have been more patient. definitely a body. I can't imagine that would easily make it on the air today...
-
was that a body they showed at 1:05?

@JuliusIsMe yeah i know. thus is the essence of trolling

@izzhaus I was making fun of people who believe Jews were responsible for 9/11. lol.

just goes to show, even a horrible tragedy doesn't sound as bad when reported in a 1940s voice

Well, we all know that big skyscrapers like this fall at free fall speed, in record time if hit by a plane, or not being hit by a plane at all, just from random fires. What happened here? Maybe the Empire State building was made of the stuff the 9/11 passports were made of!!
