The zeppelin Hindenburg floats past the Empire State Building over Manhattan on Aug. 8, 1936. The German airship was en route to Lakehurst, New Jersey, from Germany. The Hindenburg would later explode in a spectacular fireball above Lakehurst on May 6, 1937.

Rare sighting of the lights on in the middle of the day. Maybe the unexpectedly darkening sky tripped an auto sensor.
Vinylbros will go nutz for this if u sell it at Kid Robot.

Today is the the Empire State Building’s 80th anniversary, and so to mark the occasion I’ll be posting some photos throughout the day.
