Dubai - 1945 Airplane Crashes Into The Empire State Building Killing 14

A United States military plane crashes into the Empire State Building on this day in 1945, killing 14 people. The freak accident was caused by heavy fog. The B-25 Mitchell bomber, with two pilots and one passenger aboard, was flying from New Bedford, Massachusetts, to LaGuardia Airport in New York City. As it came into the metropolitan area on that Saturday morning, the fog was particularly thick. Air-traffic controllers instructed the plane to fly to Newark Airport instead. This new flight plan took the plane over Manhattan; the crew was specifically warned that the Empire State Building, the tallest building in the city at the time, was not visible. The bomber was flying relatively slowly and quite low, seeking better visibility, when it came upon the Chrysler Building in midtown. It swerved to avoid the building but the move sent it straight into the north side of the Empire State Building, near the 79th floor. Upon impact, the plane's jet fuel exploded, filling the interior of the building with flames all the way down to the 75th floor and sending flames out of the hole the plane had ripped open in the building's side. One engine from the plane went straight through the building and landed in a penthouse apartment across the street. Other plane parts ended up embedded in and on top of nearby buildings. The other engine snapped an elevator cable while at least one woman was riding in the elevator car. The emergency auto brake saved the woman from crashing to the bottom, but the engine fell down the shaft and landed on top of it. Quick-thinking rescuers pulled the woman from the elevator, saving her life. Since it was a Saturday, fewer workers than normal were in the building. Only 11 people in the building were killed, some suffering burns from the fiery jet fuel and others after being thrown out of the building. All 11 victims were workers from War Relief Services department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, into the offices of which the plane had crashed. The three people on the plane were also killed. An 18 foot by 20 foot hole was left in the side of the Empire State Building. Though its structural integrity was not affected, the crash did cause nearly $1 million in damages, about $10.5 million in today's money.

Jet Fuel?! You mean Aviation Gasoline?

"Truthers" are a goddamn cancer that need to be cut out. They fuck up the comment section of any video containing a plane crash or a demolition.

Ya ya, but did anyone just see that dude at the end waltzing around on a plank 952 feet in the air?

WHY DIDN'T THE EMPIRE SB COLLAPSE INTO IT'S OWN FOOTPRINT?

People are saying a tiny-ass B-25 didn't bring down the Empire State Building,yet enormous Boeing 767-200s,capable of seating more than 200 people,brought down buildings that were "strungr" than the ESB.That makes me more depressed about humanity.

It's amazing how much this looks like an earlier 9/11, thanks media for showing us over and over what the owners think we should see rather than letting us guide our own way. wait i'm too stoned.

bro its so fake just by looking at the explosion of the plane.You just made 9/11
-
B-25 Is half the size of the plane that hit the twin towers and the tower didn't even collapsed.
-
I knew about this but didn't realise that it had been filmed. I often pondered whether this proves that buildings and most things were built or made to a much higher standard including structural integrity than in modern times, and if the twin towers of 9/11 were built to these old standards I wonder if they would still be standing?

Apparently its the US govt's rehearsal
