July 28, 1945 was a really foggy day. To determine the plane's location pilot lowered the ceiling just to realize he is over Manhattan with a towering skyscraper right in front of him. Unfortunately, he did not manage to correct his flight and plane crashed into the building at the height of 295 meters, between the 78th and 79th floors.
As a result of the crash, 14 people were killed and 26 injured. The damage cost was estimated at one million dollars.
