I was scared spitless when I was fortunate enough to visit NYC with my sons and go to the top of this building but I did my best to pretend so that my kids wouldn't think it was anything to be afraid of, lol. I have always been afraid of heights but being up there gave me a sensation like vertigo. Very unnerving for me but my boys had a blast.

Credit to those who built it. Working at great heights with little to no safety compared to today's workers. Takes courage.

What a thrill, to go to the top of the Empire State Building! No matter how many buildings get built higher, that trip will always be amazing and no matter how old you are!

Hard to believe that building is 93 year old. A testament to the good workmanship of those Depression era days.

Visited last year and it's a wonderful building with a fascinating museum on the way up. A brilliant visit and the only place in NYC where I wasn't asked for a 25% tip for someone doing the job they are paid to do.

In July of 1945 a B-25 aircraft crashed into the Empire State Building due to fog. Sadly, 14 people were killed but the structural integrity of the building was not compromised.

Correction... it was the 86th floor, not the 87th.

Also famed for Evelyn McHale's suicide leap from the observation deck on the 87th floor in 1947. It was known as "A Beautiful Suicide" by the person who took the photo.
