Two men are sitting drinking at a bar at the top of the Empire State
Building when the first man turns to the other and says, “You know,
last week I discovered that if you jump from the top of this building,
by the time you fall to the 10th floor, the winds around the building
are so intense that they carry you around the building and back into
the window.”
The bartender just shakes his head in disapproval while wiping the
bar.
The second guy says, “What are you a nut? There is no way that could
happen.” “No, it’s true,” said the first man, let me prove it to you.”
He gets up from the bar, jumps over the balcony, and plummets to the
street below. When he passes the 10th floor, the high wind whips him
around the building and back into the 10th floor window and he takes
the elevator back up to the bar. He met the second man, who looked
quite astonished. “You know, I saw that with my own eyes, but that
must have been a one time fluke.”
“No, I’ll prove it again,” says the first man as he jumps. Again just
as he is hurling toward the street, the 10th floor wind gently carries
him around the building and into the window.
Once upstairs he urges his fellow drinker to try it. “Well, what the
hey,” the second guy says, “it works, I’ll try it!” He jumps over the
balcony plunges downward, passes the 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th floors
…and hits the sidewalk with a ‘splat.’ Back upstairs the Bartender
turns to the other drinker, saying “You know, Superman, sometimes you
can be a real jerk.”
Interesting Fact: On July 28, 1945, a B-25 bomber that was lost in fog slammed into Empire State Building north wall of the 78th and 79th floors. Fourteen people were killed (it was a Saturday, so many offices were empty). Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver survived a plunge of 75 stories inside an elevator, the Guinness World Record for the longest survived elevator fall recorded. There was no important structural damage to the building, which opened for business on the following Monday. ( https://www.walksofnewyork.com/blog/empire-state-building-facts )

Mmmmm….so a B52 bomber can slam into the Empire state building and end up with no structural damage and a plane flies into the Trade Center building, built with much stronger materials as it was newer, and it crashes and burns???/
More evidence of the lies.
I know that sounds so crazy right. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. 🙂
Great photo as usual …:) Just wanted to know what is the camera you use ? Do you use any software to enhance the image quality. I just love the photographs you take … makes me feel jealous 🙂
Thank you very much, I shoot with Nikon D810. Most of the time I don’t use any enhancement software. But when I do need to I work with Photoshop CS6. Thank you again for taking interest in my work. 🙂
Wow… a professional camera 🙂 Nice to see you have invested the time and money to do things you love … All the best
Thank you I enjoy what I do very much. 🙂
