New York City was shrouded in fog on the…..
Written by chuck on July 28, 2008 – 11:37 am -ON THIS DATE IN 1945: New York City was shrouded in fog on the
morning of July 28, 1945 as Lt. Col. William Smith piloted his B-25
Mitchell Bomber toward Newark, New Jersey from Bedford,
Massachusetts. Controllers urged him to land because of the fog, but
he received military clearance to continue his mission. As he
descended to look for a landmark, he found himself in the canyons of
skyscrapers over Manhattan. As he tried to weave and dodge the
buildings, the bomber crashed into the north side of the Empire State
Building at 250 mph, leaving a gaping hole in the world’s tallest
structure. As debris rained down on the streets below, hysterical New
Yorkers believed their city was under attack. Fourteen people died in
the crash, including the crew of three.
Thanks to Bill Murry E-forecast for this info!

I feel very sorry for these folks. I also feel sorry for all of us, insurance rates will go up. On second thought, did these folks have flood insurance?
