Title

Empire State Building Crash, 1945 [Archival Audio]

Description

At first, the events of September 11 seemed to be replaying a tragic accident that happened half a century earlier: On July 28, 1945 a B-25 Mitchell bomber crashed into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building. A reporter broadcasts live and interviews witnesses; then you will hear a recording of the crash that was captured on a Dictaphone from five blocks away.
