it is tall because it was built that way!
Because it is so tall!
The Empire State Building is pretty tall, man, so obviously to build one taller would take longer than the Empire State Building took.
It's tip is 1,454 ft so 17,448 inches.
The Empire State Building opened in 1931. So it is 81 years old as of 2012.
you would think so...I bet it is since they always call it the Empire State Building, never the Empire State Center or what ever. So I'm gonna go with yes, capitalize Building.
Way shorter than a mile! No building has ever approached that height. A mile is 5,280 feet. The Empire State Building is only 1250 feet. Currently the tallest building, the Taipai 101, is 1671 feet (and 101 floors).
There are 13 stacked nickels in an inch, 12 inches in a foot and the Empire State building is 1250 feet high to the 102nd floor so 195,000 nickels would be needed.
Skyscrappers were invented because in most big cities especially New York where the Empire State Building is the cities run out of space and lots so the only thing left to do is build things up like they do with tall buildings
Yes it is, why? the height of Big Ben is 316 Foot and the Empire State Building is 1,454 Foot so the Empire State is really huge.
So that aircrafts do not crash into it.
The Empire State Building opened in 1931, so the state of New York will celebrate its 100th anniversary in the year 2031.
If you are going from the first to 102nd floor, there are 1,860 steps in total. There are also 6.500 windows in the Empire State Building.
