Entry: The Empire State Building - A3213
Author: Rasta Sadhu - U168511
I think this entry could go all the way if it expanded away from simply the penny dropping, into describing the actual building.

Coincidentally, I'm working on an Entry for Tall Buildings, and have heaps of data on the ESB.
Am willing to donate if required.

We should certainly have an Edited entry about the ESB 
There has to mention of the speed with which it went up - I heard or read somewhere last week that... hmmm, now I can't recall the figures 
Something about 14 floors being added in two days, but that can't be right

A storey a day, roughly. Thanks to the modular prefabricated construction.
A 10t B25 plane crashed into it's 79th floor in 1945, killing 14.

just had a look at the author of this entry's personal space, looks like his been inactive for a loooooooong time! You fancy doing an entry on the ESB Dr Trout? I reckon there should be one in the edited guide.

I'm sure I could write something, but it would be somewhat fraudulent. The nearest I've been to the ESB is the Strato-something tower in Las Vegas!

What I mean is that it would benefit from being written by someone who'd been to the top, like Tom Hanks for example.

There's plenty of New York based researchers that might be able to help out with this one...
But you might need to contact them personally, a good place to find 'em is at the NE Researchers Group A565940

All right - the draft Entry is here A854237 ... let me know and I'll dip it into WW ... there's certainly a bit more to go.
