Well, the giant gorilla climbing it and then being shot down was kind of a strange occurence.

The car service had to use a crowbar to open his car?Come on now,it’s New York-a lot of folks just passing by on the sidewalk know how to break into a car a lot more gracefully than that.

Slow news day...

[rdl6989]

Every day about 10-15 cars and trucks simply stop working within a 5-block radius of the 102-story building,

Oh, I'm convinced.

I suspect that Leona Helmsley installed a nuclear reactor in the basement before she died.

I have one word for the car service. LOCKSMITH.

Every day about 10-15 cars and trucks simply stop working within a 5-block radius of the 102-story building, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

I think they may be on to the location of the Karl Rove Weather and Diebold machines.

[BallyBill]

Rudy's Fault.

Not really, I'm just practicing for when he becomes President.

[Turbopilot]

10-15 cars in a 50 square block area of NYC? How many cars are in NYC at any given time?

I seem to remember someone having calculated the number of ships and planes that have gone missing in the Bermuda Triangle and compared it with the number that have gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean at large. IIRC, they figured out that the Bermuda Triangle is actually safer than the whole ocean.

I used to work on West 30th St., on the 11th floor, just a few blocks from the Empire State Building, and had a great view of the building from my window.

I found that the building had exactly the same effect on me - 10 to 15 times a day I'd find myself stopping work and looking out that window. Weird, huh - just like the Bermuda Triangle.

It was amazing during a thunderstorm - I've seen the building struck two or three times during the same storm - the angle from my window to the top of the building was near vertical, and so the lightning strikes looked foreshortened, because I was almost directly underneath them...

How long has this been going on and why haven't we heard about this before. Article doesn't say.

Point 1. The Empire State Building is in mid-town Manhattan where the heaviest traffic is. Makes sense that more cars break down in that area than other areas of the city.

Point 2. There are 500 other buildings in mid-town Manhattan. Who's to say that it's not one of THESE buildings that is causing vehicles to "stop working".

Point 3. How many vehicles stop working every day in any other large city, say, in Chicago near the Sears Tower? I'll bet the numbers are comparable.

These kinds of stories are only believed by gullible people.

I got food poisoning from a hotdog I bought from a cart within a five block radius of the ESB.

I never, until now considered blaming a building on my misfortune.

[Defiant]

In the San Diego neighborhood we used to live in, the garage door opener would stop working for weeks at a time. Not just for us, but for everyone living near the bay, where the Navy base is. There were articles in the paper about it, and everyone blamed the Navy, but the Navy would never fess up. All of a sudden, the problem would end, and the garage door openers would start working again.

If this is happening, it could be because something similar is going on in or under the Empire State Bldg.

[Cacique]

bump for later

[Retired Chemist]

I had one of those mail box alert gadgets from Radio Shack. It would keep my car’s security remote control from working.

[Kickass Conservative]

So THAT’S why the Aliens blew up the Empire State Building in Independence Day.
And I thought it was because they had BDS.
