Empire State Building is dwarfed by modern towers
On September 11, 2001, five members from the Ten House were killed as the Twin Towers collapsed. Tons of debris fell onto the firehouse and forced its way into it, blowing out windows and doors and causing extensive damage. Inside, the floor was flooded with over three feet of debris and in and around the firehouse some debris from the collapse was nearly six feet deep.

Central Park is home to innumerable rock outcrops, making it one of the few places in the City with visible evidence of the island’s ancient bedrock. Known as Manhattan schist, this bedrock was formed around 500 million years ago and contains other minerals, including quartz, mica, and feldspar.
