  What blows my mind is they cut all this stone in Bloomington and Bedford Indiana then shipped all this to New York. Pretty cool such small towns helped build so many skyscrapers.

  I visited NYC as a kid in 2009 and the Empire State Building blew me away. When my dad and I arrived in the taxi, I walked up to the building and just looked up as it towered over me. It was an incredible sight (I lived in Springfield, MO). We then walked in to the lobby and the massive ceilings and granite and copper were so beautiful. We got in the elevator and it accelerated upward so hard my knees buckled. I arrived at the 86th floor in maybe 40 seconds. The views from the observatory deck were so mind bending. That trip changed my view on life forever. Also, the subways, the holes where the two World Trade center buildings were (they were MASSIVE!) and Grand Central Station were incredible sights to behold.

  One of the most iconic structures ever built. There really is a kind of magic about it, one random glance walking down a random avenue, and it somehow inspires you to try and do greater things.

  No matter how many times you look at the "Empire State" you'll always get inspired by it's brilliance.

  It's insane it was built so quickly. I'd love to see something half that size, be built in twice as long..

  It's such a shame to see how modern architecture has regressed compared to the elaborate and elegant designs of the 20th century

  Planning a visit to NYC in 2023. First stop - ESB. Second stop - Chrysler Building. The two stunning Art Deco skyscrapers that NYC has to offer. There are no others. And nearly 100 years on, they may not be the tallest anymore ... but they are the coolest skyscrapers that we all want to see in person.

  I would have liked to see some more detail on exactly how those air ducts work, because I still have no idea and this sounds very interesting; but I also understand that might be beyond the scope of this video. Well done; it's entertaining, well-edited, and very interesting!

  I use to deliver to the walgreens on the first 2 floors of the empire state building twice a week for many months. Was always amazed by this building every time I went there

  My wife and I are old enough to recoil and have a "moment" anytime a pre-9/11 New York skyline appears in our movies/tv moments. The Empire State building kinda endures. This is special. The building is special. Really cool that it is being actively upgraded. $0.02

  It probably sounds cheesy, but I want to tour the Skyscraper Museum one day.

  I have to say, the editing and graphics in this video are superb.  Interesting video, and great job to the editing team! And amazing shots of the city as well
