EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical photograph captures the devastating aftermath of a tragic accident that occurred on July 28th, 1945, when a Mitchell bomber collided with the Empire State Building in New York City. The damage caused by the impact is clearly visible on the 78th and 79th floors of the iconic skyscraper.
The pilot of the airplane, Lieutenant-Colonel W.F. Smith, was unable to see the building due to heavy fog at the time of the crash. This unfortunate event serves as a reminder of the dangers that can arise from poor visibility and miscommunication in aviation.
Despite this harrowing incident, it is important to remember that accidents like these have played a significant role in shaping our understanding of air safety and regulations. The image captured in this print is not only a piece of history but also a testament to human resilience and determination in overcoming challenges.
As we reflect on this moment from the past, let us honor those who were affected by this tragedy and continue to strive for safer skies for all.
