TRIVIAL PURSUITS : In 1945 , a U.S. Army Air Force B-25 bomber crashed into the Empire State Building (between the 79 th and 80 th floors) in heavy fog; 14 people were killed (three on the plane), and 26 were injured.
When that B-25 bomber crashed into the Empire State Building in 1945, the plane's jet fuel exploded, filling the interior of the building with flames all the way down to the 75th floor and sending flames out of the hole the plane had ripped open in the building's side. Yet, only 14 people were killed. What accounts for the relatively low casualty rate?
Answer
Since it was a Saturday, fewer workers than normal were in the building.
By the way, all 11 victims were workers from War Relief Services department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference, into the offices of which the plane had crashed.
On this day in 1973 , Grand Funk Railroad's "We're An American Band" was released.
