Griffin, 1997, (originally printed in hardcover by Scribner, 1995)
One of the massive aircraft's engine crossed the entire skyscraper,
from north wall to south wall, and landed on the roof of another
building nearby. The damage was estimated at $1 million (that's 1945
dollars). It took 3 months to repair the 78th and 79th floors.
But the September atrocities provoked a wave of copycats and renewed
awareness of such risks.
On April 18, 2002 a small airplane ran into the 26th floor of Milan's
tallest building, the Pirelli Tower. Three people were killed, dozens
injured and the building was severely damaged.
On January 5, 2002, a 15-year old deliberately crashed a small, single
engine, craft into the 28th floor of the Bank of America Plaza in
Tampa, Florida. The pilot dies. There were no other casualties.
At the beginning of May 2002, an Indian air force jet hit crashed into
