WOMAN JUMP DOWN FROM STATE EMPIRE HOUSE AND SURVIVE.


According to bloggers, the Empire State Building, located at West 34th Street, Manhattan, New York, is one of New Yorks’s and even the world’s most recognized landmarks. 

However, while it is known for its record-breaking height of 1,454 feet (443.2m) tall, including its antenna, the building is also famous for its dark and wild history. From accidental plane crashes to successful and failed suicide attempts, this building has a lot of unexpected tragedies.

Also, if this renowned building could speak, it probably would have complained about the rate at which people attempted to jump off her. Unfortunately, because of the building’s iconic status, it is a popular location for suicidal attempts.

Records of Suicide Attempts at the Empire State Building
Since the Empire State Building was constructed on March 17th, 1930, at least 36 people have died jumping off the 102-story skyscraper. 

The first recorded incident occurred on April 7th, 1931, before the completion of the building. This sad event was by a construction worker who was laid off during the building project. 

He threw himself down an open elevator shaft. Sadly, this was only the first of many suicide attempts at the building. 

One of the most famous suicidal incidents in this building was that of 23-year-old Evelyn McHale, whose 1947 plunge off the building resulted in the photo of the “world’s most beautiful suicide.”


The body of Evelyn McHale
From the 86th-floor observation deck, the beautiful young woman adorned in petals and gloves leaped to her death, landing on top of a United Nations limousine parked at the curb. 

With legs elegantly crossing her ankles, one would think she was only sleeping. Yet, surprisingly her body remained intact while the car’s damaged metal folded around her like sheets framing her body. 

A photography student snapped a picture of the McHales 1947 jump, which gained notoriety after appearing in Time Magazine and other publications. 

While there were many successful suicidal attempts, there were two cases where jumpers miraculously survived. However, they only fell a few floors down. This was the case of a 29-year-old single mother, Elvita Adams.

CANDIDATE MIND SET TO POLITICAL OFFICES.

CANDIDATE MIND SET TO POLITICAL OFFICES... By Edewor Otighoarievwen. I will start by saying Nigeria politics look almost the same in all regions, state and ethnicities. The patten nor method at which politics is been approach and played in a democratic nation like Nigeria looks opposite of true definition of democracy. What could be the reason? First, I have noticed, majorly' electorates have the mentality of begging and extorting candidates ones it's election period. And that's a bad habit of patriotic citizens that suppose to protect and ensure democracy. Secondly, unqualified and wrong choice to candidacy becomes inevitable base on the absolute observation and understanding of echelons who are in authority and place of partial politics to donate and sponsor candidates' that; voters are only in need of food and individual development instead of territory or societal all round development. The YOUTH should listen 👂, the true meaning of political participation is volun...

40B'NAIRA WAS NOT BORROWED, DELTA @ 33 FORMATION.

Image
PRESS STATEMENT 27th August, 2024 GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI HAS NOT BORROWED A DIME  The Delta State Government notes with serious concern some reports in some online media platforms alleging that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori borrowed the sum of N40billion soon after assuming office. The reports are not only misleading, but also capable of creating misunderstanding and confusion in the State. For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state categorically that the Delta State Government DID NOT Borrow N40 billion. And the Sheriff Oborevwori administration has not borrowed any dime till now. The records are there for anybody who cares for the truth to verify. What the Oborevwori administration did was to graciously guarantee a N40b loan facility for ALGON, to enable it offset the unpaid pension liabilities of retired Local Government personnel. Repayable over a five-year period, the loan is to be repaid through direct debits to the Local Government Councils.  Also read   https:...

The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566.

Image
The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566. In the Habsburg-Ottoman war from 1551 to 1562, the Ottomans besieged Siget (Hungarian: *Szigetvár)* in the spring of 1556, but the defenders under the command of Mark Stančić (Hungarian: Horváth Stancsics Márk) managed to defend the fort. In August 1561, Marko Stančić died, and in September of the same year Count Nikola IV Zrinski (Hungarian: Zrínyi Miklós) was appointed as the new captain of Siget, at his own request. The conflict between the Ottoman vassal and the pretender to the Hungarian throne, Duke of Transylvania Sigismund Zapolya and the Czech, Hungarian and Croatian king Maximilian II. Habsburg, and the failure of the siege of Malta in 1565, influenced the decision of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to break the truce concluded in 1562. At the age of 72 he undertakes the 13th campaign for his 45-year reign. The victory of the Croatian ban Petar Erdody near Obreska on September 10, 1565, over the army of the Bosnian Sandj...

NOBODY DARES TO WEAR THE SHOES U PUT ON...

Image
Nobody can or dares to wear the shoes u are putting on, Because it's never their Size👌 . Comr Edewor Otighoarievwen   In politics, people work against their conscience to get favour because of the above statement.  The same thing happens to those that are party conscious particularly when they have build and they don't want to let go. Also, remember man must live to make a better life.  Now, who is to be blamed for the issue of bad governance and parties' failure to bring out incompetent candidates when there are competent individuals in the party??? In a time like this, I will advise all political parties to be more party conscious of defending and not letting their party down for any reason of preferring an incompetent candidate when there are competent and more qualified individuals that can become candidates for citizens to choose through voting system.  Not being party conscious may lead to party destruction as it tempts to mislead and put party members in the ...

SCARING; TEENAGER'S EMBODIED SKILLS TO IMMORALITY.

Image
By Edewor Otighoarievwen. The age bracket 13—15 should be anxious of moral conduct. I am saying this because of the rate at which teenagers are often seen around immoral happenings in the current generation. There was a day I called 6 girls in a group movement to questioned about the reason they dress half nicked, their reply was through a young girl among them that; nothing makes them dress half nicked other than choice to dress as you like. Immorality will pay major religions atrocity today or later tomorrow. Religious is meant to be morally perfect not to congest the heart of men to the state of unbelieve or lacking faith. Changes is constant and it can occur when there is its necessity, most especially when one's mind is fed up and been made up. Helping to make corrections should be utmost priority of every human being and we should not be tired. The skills at which world teenagers practice immorality are numerous but who is to be blame? No one. Because, the game of blames does...
