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.

We would have preferred that the cinematographer hold his camera still more, but even with the nervous movements the color scenes of the bombed out city blocks are poignant.
