Posted by JayZeeBMT on Thu Jun 15 18:31:43 2017, in response to Re: New York Times London Fire: At Least 6 Dead After Blaze Engulfs Apartment Tower, posted by Joe V on Thu Jun 15 18:03:34 2017. In July, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber got lost in morning fog, and crashed into the uith and 79th floors of the ESB. There was considerable damage, including one airplane engine that fell all the way to the basement through an elevator shaft. The building itself, though, didn't suffer the collapse of events a single floor, although extensive renovations of the top 14 floors were necessary, mostly because of smoke, soot, and water damage.I think the building would sustain (God forbid) a strike by a modern jetliner without collapsing. The structure is inherently stronger than that of the old WTC. |
