Snapple wisdom - "Real Fact" #330
"The top of the Empire State Building was originally built as a place to anchor blimps"
This is fact! I saw it on the History Channel. When airships were still roaming the skies in the 1930s, everyone thought they were the future of air travel. There were at least 2 failed attempts to dock an airship on top of the Empire State Building. Problems such as high wind made it unfeasible. Then the Hindenburg disaster happened ... end of story.
