1945 Empire State Building Crash Fragment
When it opened on May 1, 1931, the Empire State Building was the tallest building on the planet, the clear winner of the Skyscraper Race of the 1930s. At 102 stories tall, the building was so high it even proved to be a hazard.
This specimen is a section of material from the Empire State Building, which was dislodged during an accidental plane crash in 1945. Two sizes are available: A small size, which is a section of continuous stainless steel mullion that framed the windows of this magnificent structure, and a large size, which is a cross-section of a steel support anchor for the mullion.
