Slightly morbid historical question -

Does anyone know details about the first plane that ran into a building in Manhattan, before the ESB? Like what year and what building, location? Thanks -

I heard a fighter hit 40 Wall Street before or during WWII, a P-39 or P-40 or something.

Thank you. I googled that and it confirmed.

There was also that one that hit the Empire State.


And ones that have crashed in the suburbs (Park Slope in the fifties



and Rockaway just recently

I worked with a guy that saw the Park Slope accident as a child. He was walking along the street and saw an arm. :(
