Jessie on a Journey
A smiling woman wearing a bright yellow and red floral strapless dress and mirrored sunglasses is holding a pink beverage and standing in front of an expansive window with a breathtaking view of the New York City skyline. The iconic Empire State Building can be seen prominently in the distance, its sleek art deco design standing tall amidst the dense clusters of skyscrapers. On the table in front of the woman, there is a plate with what appears to be a sandwich and another pink beverage, suggesting she may be enjoying a meal or refreshments while taking in the stunning cityscape. The floor is tiled with a marble-like surface, adding a touch of elegance to the setting.

Incredible Empire State Building History

Crazy NYC history.⁠ 👇⁠ So you’ve likely heard of New York’s iconic Empire State Building and its amazing views — and maybe even that it was the world’s tallest building from 1931-1970 — but did you know it has some wild history, too?⁠ 😮 ⁠ In fact, it holds the world record for “longest fall survived in a lift” as on a foggy July 28, 1945 a plane accidentally crashed into the building — sending lift operator Betty Lou Oliver plunging 75 stories (over 1,000 feet)!⁠ 😳 ⁠ Thankfully she survived, though sadly 14 others did not.⁠ 😔 ⁠ What is also crazy is that July 28th was meant to be Betty’s last day on the job.⁠ 😮 ⁠ NYC’s landmarks are full of interesting history, so as you’re enjoying the modern views, make sure to do some digging into their past lives!⁠ 📚 ⁠ 📸 taken at @SummitOV.
