On July 28, 1945, a U.S.
B-25 bomber accidentally smashed into the Empire State
Building, killing 14 people and injuring another 24 (the
headline above says 13 dead, but another body was found the
next day). This event once stood out as a famous freak
accident story about New York history, before our timeline
became even weirder and more grotesque over the ensuing
decades.

The term time blindness
describes a persistent difficulty in managing time and
perceiving how quickly it passes. People who struggle with
time blindness may be frequently late, find it difficult to
plan their day or meet deadlines, or become easily absorbed
in time-wasting activities (playing video games, for
example) without realizing how much time has passed.

German spies nearly blew
up the Statue of Liberty in 1916, closing the torch to
tourists forever. Shortly after 2:00 am, on July 30th, an
ear splitting explosion rattled the Brooklyn Bridge, swayed
skyscrapers, and shattered glass windows throughout

Philadelphia, and in Baltimore, people spilled from their
homes, fearing an earthquake was underway. Scientists would
later assess the magnitude of the blast at 5.5 on today’s
Richter scale.
