Flashback: B-25 Crashed into Empire State Building
Published:
...and amazingly, the building did not collapse!

A blurb from WIKI.
On Saturday, 28 July 1945, at 0940 (while flying in thick fog), a USAAF B-25D crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building, hitting between the 79th and 80th floor. Fourteen people were killed — 11 in the building, along with Colonel William Smith and the other two occupants of the bomber. Betty Lou Oliver, an elevator attendant, survived the impact and a subsequent uncontrolled descent with the elevator. It was partly because of this incident that Towers 1 and 2 of the World Trade Center were designed to withstand the impact of a Boeing 707 aircraft (though the planes that hit the towers on September 11, 2001 had significantly higher masses and were traveling at substantially higher speeds).
(And thousands of other diffs.)
The empire state building was designed to hold the weight of a very large gorilla.....................and bi planes shooting machine guns at it.
