And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Empire State Building on July 28th 1945. The damage on the building was caused by a B-25 bomber crashing into 79th floor.
Is the pilot Ok?
ReplyDeleteThis was the first thing I thought of on 9/11/01 when I was told an airplane had hit the World Trade Center. I wish I'd been right:-(.
ReplyDeleteMe too, I knew of this prior to 9/11 and thought a sight seeing plane might be the cause.
ReplyDeleteI saw a tv show about that. The 79th floor burned from the ruptured fuel tanks of the B-25.
