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.

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.

Back in college (1986), a buddy invited me to his bachelor’s party (leaving from Ann Arbor to New York — an 11 hour drive). He said when we got there, there would be a car broken down on the Cross-Bronx Expressway. There was.
