1945 - 4TH ALARM - BOMBER HITS EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

1945 Empire State Building B-25 crash

On July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber of the United States Army Air Forces crashed into the Empire State Building in New York City, while flying in thick fog. The accident caused the death of fourteen people (three crewmen and eleven people in the building) and damage estimated at US$1 million (equivalent to about $14M in 2019), although the building's structural integrity was not compromised.

On Saturday, July 28, 1945, Lieutenant Colonel William F. Smith Jr. was piloting a B-25 Mitchell bomber on a routine personnel transport mission from Bedford Army Air Field in Massachusetts to Newark Metropolitan Airport in New Jersey. Smith asked for clearance to land, but he was advised of zero visibility. Proceeding anyway, he became disoriented by the fog and turned right instead of left after passing the Chrysler Building.

At 9:40 a.m., the aircraft crashed into the north side of the Empire State Building, between the 78th and 80th floors, making an 18-by-20-foot (5.5 m × 6.1 m) hole in the building into the offices of the War Relief Society and the National Catholic Welfare Council. One engine shot through the south side opposite the impact and flew as far as the next block, dropping 900 feet (270 m) and landing on the roof of a nearby building and causing a fire that destroyed a penthouse art studio. The other engine and part of the landing gear fell down an elevator shaft. The resulting fire was extinguished in 40 minutes. The Empire State Building fire is the only significant fire at such a height[vague] to be brought under control by firefighters.

Between 50 and 60 sightseers were on the 86th floor observation deck when the crash happened. Fourteen people were killed: Colonel Smith, Staff Sergeant Christopher Domitrovich, and Navy Aviation Machinist's Mate Albert Perna, who was hitching a ride, and eleven civilians in the building. Perna's body was not found until two days later, when search crews discovered that it had entered an elevator shaft and fallen to the bottom. The other two crewmen were burned beyond recognition. Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was thrown from her elevator car on the 80th floor and suffered severe burns. First aid workers placed her on another elevator car to transport her to the ground floor, but the cables supporting that car had been damaged in the incident, and the car fell 75 stories, ending up in the basement. Oliver survived the fall but had a broken pelvis, back and neck when rescuers found her amongst the rubble. This remains the world record for the longest survived elevator fall.

Despite the damage and loss of life, the building was open for business on many floors on the next Monday morning, less than 48 hours later. The crash spurred the passage of the long-pending Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946, as well as the insertion of retroactive provisions into the law, allowing people to sue the government for the accident.

1990 - 4TH ALARM - EMPIRE STATE BUILDING FIRE - 51ST FLOOR



1610048086931.png
Fire In Empire State Building Injures 38
JOE UNGARO July 16, 1990

NEW YORK (AP) _ A fire halfway up the Empire State Building on Monday evening sent flames billowing from shattered windows and chased tourists from the observation deck and workers from throughout the building. At least 38 people were injured, most from inhaling smoke.

About 150 firefighters battled the blaze, which was largely confined to four unoccupied offices on the 51st floor, said Don Malva, a Fire Department spokesman. Heavy smoke poured through the middle floors of the 102-story building, and the entire tower was cleared of tourists and late-lingering office workers.

Josephine Danielson of New York, who was visiting the observation deck with five friends from Spain, said they clambered down stairways to the 70th floor, then took an elevator to ground level.

″We started smelling smoke and we saw on the east side of the building dense black smoke coming from below the tower,″ said Ms. Danielson, an airline flight attendant. ″Whoever runs the observation deck is tremendously unorganized. You would think they would have had some kind of recorded announcement.″

The fire was reported at 6:30 p.m., and by 8:45 p.m., the blaze was out and the danger passed, Malva said.

The fire did heavy fire damage on the 51st floor, with water damage on lower floors and smoke damage above, said John Mulligan, another department spokesman. The cause of the blaze wasn’t immediately known, he said.

Thirty-one firefighters and seven civilians were injured, said Mulligan. Twelve of the firefighters were immediately hospitalized, the mot seriously hurt suffering from first and second-degree burns.

Three non-firefighters were treated at the scene by paramedics, and four were hospitalized with smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion.

″Some people said they heard the alarms, others said they didn’t,″ Mulligan said. ″But we get that in every fire. There’s a speaker system and we are investigating to see how well it worked.″

Fire Capt. Charles Kasper said the building underwent a ″brick oven effect,″ heating up quickly. Some windows broke from the heat, and wind surging through fanned the flames, he said.

″It had to be close to a thousand degrees on the fire floor,″ said Kasper. ″The nozzleman I was next to was getting burned. He was screaming in pain but he did not let go of his hose.″

Kasper said the Empire State Building is ″an incredibly well-made building. If this happened in a modern high-rise building, we would have far more problems.″

Building employees brought people down from the deck, 15 at a time, finally clearing the building by 10:20 p.m.

Nabila Al Riyami, a tourist from Oman on the Arabian Sea, was helped out, along with her husband and five children.

″Some people were crying and were having nervous trembling fits,″ she said. Her husband, Said, added: ″We were praying to God that he would help us. We are safe and we thank the Fire Department of the municipality.″

Fire Commissioner Carlos Rivera said flames had billowed out the windows when the fire first broke out, but a short time later only heavy smoke kept pouring out from some of the floors.

The Empire State Building was the world’s tallest tower until 1973 when the World Trade Center was built in Manhattan. The Sears Tower in Chicago is now the tallest building.

Mulligan said he believed the last blaze at the Empire State Building was in 1988.

MURRAY HILL

Murray Hill is a neighborhood on the east side of Manhattan in New York City. Murray Hill is generally bordered to the east by the East River or Kips Bay and to the west by Midtown Manhattan, though the exact boundaries are highly disputed.

Murray Hill was named after Robert Murray, the head of the Murray family, a mercantile family that settled in the area in the 18th century. The Murray property was located on a steep glacial hill that peaked between Lexington Avenue and Broadway. Through the 19th century, Murray Hill was relatively isolated from the rest of New York City, which at the time was centered in lower Manhattan. Murray Hill became an upscale neighborhood during the 20th century. Today, it contains several cultural institutions, as well as missions and consulates to the nearby United Nations headquarters.

Murray Hill is part of Manhattan Community District 6, and its primary ZIP Codes are 10016 and 10017. It is patrolled by the 17th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.

Diplomatic missions

Due to the proximity of the headquarters of the United Nations and the availability of old mansions, many countries operate diplomatic missions and consulates in Murray Hill, including:

The Consulate-General of Mexico in New York, at 27 East 39th Street (10016).
The Consulate-General of South Africa in New York, at 333 East 38th Street (10016).
The Consulate-General of the Republic of Poland in New York, at 233 Madison Avenue (10016).

Missions to the United Nations in Murray Hill include:

Afghanistan
Armenia
Austria
Benin
China
Cuba
El Salvador
Estonia
Fiji
Guatemala
Guinea
India
Indonesia
Iran
Lesotho
Liechtenstein
Malta
Mauritania
Namibia
Romania


Fire safety

Murray Hill is served by the New York City Fire Department (FDNY)'s Engine Co. 21 fire station, located at 238 East 40th Street.

TURTLE BAY - MIDTOWN EAST

Turtle Bay is a neighborhood in New York City, on the east side of Midtown Manhattan. It extends from roughly 43rd Street to 53rd Streets, and eastward from Lexington Avenue to the East River's western branch (facing Roosevelt Island).[4][5][6][7][8] The neighborhood is the site of the headquarters of the United Nations and the Chrysler Building. The Tudor City apartment complex is to the south of Turtle Bay.[9]

Turtle Bay is named after a former cove of the East River, which in turn was named after the Dutch word for "knife". The neighborhood was originally settled as a Dutch farm in the 17th century, and was subsequently developed with tenements, power plants, and slaughterhouses in the 19th century. These industrial structures were largely demolished in the 1940s and 1950s to make way for the United Nations headquarters. Today, Turtle Bay contains multiple missions and consulates to the nearby United Nations headquarters.

Turtle Bay is part of Manhattan Community District 6, and its primary ZIP Codes are 10017 and 10022.[1] It is patrolled by the 17th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.

HISTORY, TURTLE BAY

How the Manhattan neighborhood of Turtle Bay got its name

The Manhattan neighborhood of Turtle Bay, a stretch of Midtown East that holds everything from skyscrapers to brownstones, has a history dating back to 1639. Modern-day New Yorkers might envision the area got its name from “hundreds of turtles sunning themselves on the rocks along the East River between 45th and 48th Streets,” as Ephemeral New York puts it. Back then, that’s where an actual bay was once located in Colonial-era Manhattan, surrounded by meadows, hills and a stream that emptied at the foot of today’s 47th Street. Some historians do think actual turtles lent to the neighborhood name, as they were plentiful in Manhattan at the time and were commonly dined on. But another reading of history suggests otherwise.

Turtle Bay, an actual cove of the East River, received its name back in the 17th century by Dutch settlers. As the story goes, the cove was shaped like a knife, so the settlers named it “deutal,” which is Dutch for “a bent blade.”

The neighborhood of Turtle Bay begins in 1639, with a 40-acre land grant given to two Englishmen by the Dutch colonial governor of New Amsterdam. The farm extended roughly from what is now 43rd Street to 48th Street, and from Third Avenue to the river. The Englishmen named the plot “Turtle Bay Farm.” Here’s where historians think the name was more likely a corruption of the Dutch word “deutal” rather than a reference to actual turtles in the bay.

Back then, the area filled with farms, houses and villas surrounding by picturesque hills and streams. But after the street grid system was initiated in Manhattan, the hilly landscape of Turtle Bay Farm was graded to create cross-streets. Between 1840 and 1850, the land was subdivided for more formal residential development.

But the name stuck as the area changed. According to the Turtle Bay Association, from its early days as a settlement through the Revolutionary War, the bay offered sailing ships a safe haven from winter gales and the capricious currents of the East River, making it important to the commerce of Manhattan. Shipbuilders established a thriving business there. And by the time Robert Fulton tested his steamboat on the East River in 1808, the wharf was teeming with breweries, carpentry shops, mills and industrial business.

Development of the neighborhood grew after the streets were gridded, but it really took off after the Civil War. Upon the war ending, the building of brownstones ultimately transformed the scenic landscape. The bay was filled in, and the waterfront became “a commercial sinkhole,” according to the Turtle Bay Association. “By 1868, the beautiful bay was filled in, its charms sullied by slaughterhouses, packing sheds, cattle pens, rotting wharfs, and railroad piers,” the organization says.

Immigrants flooded the area, tenements were built, and in the 1920s the brownstones were transformed back into fashionable townhouses. Today, the area is bustling with commercial activity, lined with towering skyscrapers, and still retains many of those historic townhouses. And despite the lack of turtles in the former bay, the name of Turtle Bay endured.

So 229/146 are in the 35 but 238/106 are in the 28? I realize this is for administrative duties, but it seems odd that the 28 would need to drive almost past 229/146 to get to 238/106.

Oakland Street is now Guinness Boulevard.

Thanks for the info soda-acid. Many NYC streets changed names and it is difficult to find old locations and addresses. NYC continues to make make name changes to streets and buildings, parks.
