This incident was the first thing that crossed my mind when the first plane hit the WTC on 9/11. -------------------------- Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H L Mencken I always prefer reality when I can figure out what it is. -- JALLEN 10/18/18 | |||

Yeah, me too. Then I saw the clear blue sky and knew something sinister was at play. . . The B-25 crashed in heavy fog with zero visibility. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

I was 6 years old when that happened and remember hearing about it on the radio. | |||

Apparently, a woman who was in the elevator at the time, plummetted something like 70 stories when the cable got severed, but managed to survive and still holds the world record for surviving in an elevator fall from so high. The super long cable stacked up in the elevator tube and slowed/cushioned the elevator car as it fell. | |||

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
Me too. Even though the event was way before my time, I had heard the story. I'm surprised this didn't happen more often during the earlier years of aviation. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Loved those Texas one room schools |
There was an interesting book written about that flight and the crash. Unfortunately I don't remember the title. _________________________ "Louis was furious with the sharks.
