All sort of interesting tidbits from the Wikipage
- One engine shot through the South side opposite the impact and flew as far as the next block, dropping 900 feet and landing on the roof of a nearby building and starting a fire that destroyed a penthouse.
- The resulting fire was extinguished in 40 minutes. It is still the only fire at such a height to be brought under control
- Fourteen people were killed (3 on bomber and 11 in building).
- Elevator operator Betty Lou Oliver was injured. Rescuers decided to transport her on an elevator that they did not know had weakened cables. She survived a plunge of 75 stories, which still stands as the Guinness 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 following Monday.
- 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.
- To this day, a missing stone in the facade serves as evidence of where the aircraft crashed into the building.

I don't think anyone is personally holding you liable for posting that picture!
