the Empire State Building
in midtown Manhattan is once again the tallest building
in New York.
The Empire State Building was completed in 1931 — King Kong climbed it in 1933 — and, like the World Trade Towers, once had a plane hit it.
A B-25 bomber crashed into the 79th floor on a Saturday in July 1945, killing the crew and 14 people in the building but not seriously damaging the structure.
Quite possibily the most popular tourist destination in New York, the Empire State Building Observatory on the 86th and 102nd floors provides incredible views of Manhattan and on a clear day up to 80 miles in any direction.
