Empire State Building

A 102 story Art Deco building in New York City was designed by Shreve, Lamb & Harmon Associates and built in 1930. It is the tallest building in the city, and was the tallest building in the world for many years.

At 9:49 a.m. on Saturday July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber accidentally crashed into the 79th floor, where the offices of the [National Catholic Welfare Council]? were located. The fire was extinguished in 40 minutes. In the accident 14 people got killed.
