Even without audio, these unforgettable images are still fascinating. Note at 00:31 that the rolls of steel wires used in the construction are from the Roebling company, named after its founder John Roebling, who - along with his son Washington - built the Brookyn Bridge across the East River in New York in ca 1879.

On the morning of Saturday, July 28, 1945 a B-25 bomber flying toward Newark airport in heavy fog struck the Empire State Building between the 78th and 79th floors.
If disappointed by the quality of the images, remember that this isnt a re-enactment; and the people arent actors.
