If you’re me, then the Empire State Building’s most iconic scene is actually in Sleepless in Seattle. When Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan meet at the skyscraper’s observation deck, that’s peak cinema.

From King Kong’s battle with biplanes to the annual ESB Run-Up to its iconic 86th Floor Observatory, the “World’s Most Famous Building” is both myth and monolith.

The Empire State Building contains 3,194,547 light bulbs, 50 miles of radiator pipe, 70 miles of water pipe, 1,060 miles of telephone cable, and 7,450 tons of refrigeration equipment.

A drone company did a show that recreated the most iconic part of the film where King Kong climbs the Empire State Building in New York. It looks pretty spectacular, in my opinion.
