Thanks for calling the mistake to my attention, buddy!<br /><br />I do appreciate your visit today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Old Jules...<br />Ben was correct and I have changed the post to reflect the correct term used for the fuel!<br /><br />I should have had alarm bells going off when I read the article, but I was too lazy, I reckon!<br /><br />Anyway, it's all corrected now!<br /><br />Hey, thanks for coming by today!<br /><br /><br />Hey Sixbears...<br />I've never been to New York, and so I've never seen the building at all, except in the movies when "King Kong" climbed up!<br /><br />Pretty amazing for when it was built!<br /><br />Many thanks for coming by today!<br /><br /><br />Hey JoJo...<br />I think we hawve the whole fuel situation straightened out! Glad Ben was paying attention and pointed out the mistake!<br /><br />Maybe at least we'll get some rain out of the whole thing!<br /><br />Thanks, sweetie, for coming over today!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-13164478819376863202011-07-28T09:06:39.821-05:002011-07-28T09:06:39.821-05:00I read about this somewhere since it happened befo...I read about this somewhere since it happened before I was born. really!

Certainly has a lot more character than new buildings.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-29927477188577823752011-07-28T06:00:08.948-05:002011-07-28T06:00:08.948-05:00Morning to you. Nice post. When I read it I was ...Morning to you. Nice post. When I read it I was surprised to see them carrying jet fuel. I assumed until I saw Ben's comment that they were carrying POL or kerosene in the cargo bay and someone called it jet later. But after reading Ben's remark I'm inclined to agree it was probably their own fuel load of gasoline left over after a relatively short flight.<br /><br />I haven't been up that way in a few decades, but I assume the Empire State Building hasn't been replaced by something glass and taller?<br /><br />Hope your day's a good one.Old Juleshttp://sofarfromheaven.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-7270711182860808232011-07-28T05:46:09.278-05:002011-07-28T05:46:09.278-05:00Of Course I've seen pictures and rad about tha...Of Course I've seen pictures and rad about that . Only issue I have with the story reprint is. Those engines were NOT Jet engines , thus the line about the "jet fuel" fire is false!!! That plane had 2 × Wright R-2600 Cyclone 14 radials, 1,850 hp (1,380 kW) each. To the best of my knowledge, the Jet engine wasn't developed for use on a US airplane until after the war despite several prototypes designed and tested.Ben in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09068952818736489066noreply@blogger.com
