Empire State Building


Empire State Building

The top was designed to be a Zepplin Docking Station: until the Hindenburg disaster in 1937 at Lakehurst, New Jersey.

The Empire State Building Run-Up is an annual race up 1,576 steps to the 86th floor of the building. The world record time for the race is held by Australian Paul Crake at 9 minutes and 33 seconds.

I wouldn't risk it. We can at least look at it and take pictures and I heard they have really nice restaurants on the ground floor.
