Surviving a 75-Story Fall

In 1945, a woman survived… a 75-story elevator fall. Her name was Betty

Lou Oliver. She worked at the Empire State Building when a B-25 bomber crashed into the

79th floor. The explosion cut the elevator cables… and the cabin dropped straight down.

75 floors. And she survived. How? Because all the broken cables fell

with her, filling the shaft… and acting like a massive shock absorber.

She recovered and even returned to work months later. See you in two days for another true

story.
