Pay close attenion to what is said in this article and remember that
this bomber is a little smaller than a jumbo jet but the Empire
State Building is quite a bit smaller than the World Trade Center
buildings were. Almost EXACTLY the same details EXCEPT that the
World Trade Center was reinforced in the center and around the
outside with heavy steel plate. Also there were no explosives set
off in the Empire State Building to bring it down to make it look
like the planes fuel and caused it to fall. Anyone wanting proof of
pre-planted explosives in th WTC buildings collapse only need to
email me to request the informaion and proof. Now, enjoy the article
below and consider for a moment.

The Plane That Crashed Into the Empire State Building

On the foggy morning of Saturday, July 28, 1945, Lt. Colonel William
Smith was piloting a U.S. Army B-25 bomber through New York City. He
was on his way to Newark Airport to pick up his commanding officer,
but for some reason he showed up over LaGuardia Airport and asked
for a weather report. Because of the poor visibility the LaGuardia
tower wanted to him to land, but Smith requested and received
permission from the military to continue on to Newark. The last
transmission from the LaGuardia tower to the plane was a foreboding
warning: "From where I'm sitting, I can't see the top of the Empire
State Building."1
Confronted with dense fog, Smith dropped the bomber low to regain
visibility, where he found himself in the middle of Manhattan,
surrounded by skyscrapers. At first, the bomber was headed directly
for the New York Central Building but at the last minute, Smith was
able to bank west and miss it. Unfortunately, this put him in line
for another skyscraper. Smith managed to miss several skyscrapers
until he was headed for the Empire State Building. At the last
minute, Smith tried to get the bomber to climb and twist away, but
it was too late.
At 9:49 a.m., the ten-ton, B-25 bomber smashed into the north side
of the Empire State Building. The majority of the plane hit the 79th
floor, creating a hole in the building eighteen feet wide and twenty
feet high. The plane's high-octane fuel exploded, hurtling flames
down the side of the building and inside through hallways and
stairwells all the way down to the 75th floor.
World War II had caused many to shift to a six-day work week; thus
there were many people at work in the Empire State Building that
Saturday. The plane crashed into the offices of the War Relief
Services of the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Catherine
O'Connor described the crash:
The plane exploded within the building. There were five or six
seconds - I was tottering on my feet trying to keep my balance - and
three-quarters of the office was instantaneously consumed in this
sheet of flame. One man was standing inside the flame. I could see
him. It was a co-worker, Joe Fountain. His whole body was on fire. I
kept calling to him, "Come on, Joe; come on, Joe." He walked out of
it.2
Joe Fountain died several days later. Eleven of the office workers
were burned to death, some still sitting at their desks, others
while trying to run from the flames.
One of the engines and part of the landing gear hurtled across the
79th floor, through wall partitions and two fire walls, and out the
south wall's windows to fall onto a twelve-story building across
33rd Street. The other engine flew into an elevator shaft and landed
on an elevator car. The car began to plummet, slowed somewhat by
emergency safety devices. Miraculously, when help arrived at the
remains of the elevator car in the basement, the two women inside
the car were still alive.
Some debris from the crash fell to the streets below, sending
pedestrians scurrying for cover, but most fell onto the buildings
setbacks at the fifth floor. Still, a bulk of the wreckage remained
stuck in the side of the building. After the flames were
extinguished and the remains of the victims removed, the rest of the
wreckage was removed through the building.
The plane crash killed 14 people (11 office workers and the three
crewmen) plus injured 26 others. Though the integrity of the Empire
State Building was not affected, the cost of the damage done by the
crash was $1 million.
