Ukudakumba Okukhulu kuphose ilifu elimnyama eMelika pha ngasekupheleni kweminyaka yoo-1920 kunye nee-apos; 30s, kodwa kwizithunzi kwavela iisimboli zethemba kunye nesithembiso senkqubela phambili. KwisiXeko saseNew York, umdyarho wezakhiwo wokwakha esona sakhiwo siphakamileyo emhlabeni saphoswa kulwazi lwesizwe. Kwimitha ezili-1,046, iChrysler Building yayiyeyokuqala ukubamba isithsaba sakuba sigqityiwe ngoMeyi 1930. Nangona kunjalo, kwiinyanga nje ezili-11 emva koko, iswitshi saphoswa kwi-Empire State Building eyi-1,250 ubude, esona sakhiwo siphakamileyo ndakhe ndabona. Yaziwa ngomhla wayo njengommangaliso wesibhozo wehlabathi, olu phawu lwesizwe luye lwafa ngokungafakwanga kwimidlalo bhanyabhanya efana Umcimbi ekufuneka ukhunjulwe kwaye uking Kong kwaye ihlala sesinye sezona zakhiwo zibonakalayo zehlabathi ezenziwe ngumntu-nangona ezinye iinyani malunga nebhehemoth zisenokukumangalisa.
Esi sakhiwo sinexesha lokufika ekhaya ezinzulwini zobusuku.
Ngaba ukhe uzibuze ukuba kutheni isakhiwo siba mnyama nje xa iwotshi ibetha ezinzulwini zobusuku? (Icebiso: ayikokugcina nje kwityala lombane.) Iintaka zitsaleleka kwizibane zedolophu, ezithintela ukubanakho kwazo ukubona ezinye izikhuseli ezinde zijikeleze zona. Ebudeni bamaxesha amabini okufuduka, abasemagunyeni babala malunga neentaka ezingama-90 000 ezabulawa kukungqubana kwezakhiwo zeSixeko saseNew York. Ndiyabulela kwiSixeko saseNew York Audubon, ezimbalwa izakhiwo, kuquka i-Empire State Building, ngoku ziba mnyama phakathi kobusuku ngexesha lokufuduka ukunceda iintaka zikhethe indlela ekhuselekileyo yokuhamba.
Idibeneyo: Iinkcukacha zoLwakhiwo lukaRhulumente
Izibane zazo ezibonisa ukukhululeka kweqela.
Ukuthetha ngezibane, iminyaka, ezikhanyisa imigangatho ephezulu ye-State State Building ebambe ukukhanya okuthe ngcembe, okumhlophe. Nangona kunjalo, ngoku, inkqubo entsha ye-LED efakwe ngo-2012 inako ukubonisa i-16 emangalisayo yezigidi indibaniselwano yemibala ehlonipha imisitho yesizwe kunye neeholide-ebomvu, emhlophe, kunye neblue iyachuma kuSuku lweNkululeko; ukubetha kwentliziyo ebomvu yoSuku lweValentine; izibane ezahluliweyo ezimele amaqela ezemidlalo akhuphisanayo. Jonga ifayile ishedyuli izibane zangaphambili nezizayo.
Inedilesi ekuphela kwayo enekhowudi ye-zip engu-10118.
Ngaphandle kokuthatha ibhloko enye yedolophu eMidtown Manhattan, i-Empire State Building ikwi-2,812,739 iinyawo zenyawo, inkulu kakhulu kangangokuba yazifumana ikhowudi yayo ye-zip ukunceda ngcono inkonzo yeposi ngokuhambisa. Ngaphezulu kwezinye izakhiwo ezingama-40 kwisiXeko saseNew York nazo zinamanani azo, kubandakanya iZiko loRhwebo leHlabathi, iSakhiwo seMetLife kunye neBrookfield Place.

Amaqabane anethemba lokubopha iqhina phezulu kwihlabathi kuya kufuneka ahlahle okona suku lothando lonyaka. Imitshato e-Empire State Building ibanjwa ngosuku olunye nangosuku olunye kuphela-uSuku lweValentine- kwaye lwenzeka ngobuninzi kumgangatho we-86 kumgangatho we-Observatory. (Thetha ngeklabhu ekhethekileyo.)
Isiporo sasiphantse sibe sisikhululo sokumisa i-zeppelins.
Emva kokuba kugqityiwe ukwakhiwa kweenyawo ezili-1,050 ubude, iRhuluneli yoRhulumente waseNew York u-Al Smith weza nesicwangciso esiphakamileyo sokudibanisa i-200-foot spire, eyenzelwe ukuba isebenze njengoluhlobo lwesibonda sokubambelela apho iinqwelomoya ziya kumisa phakathi kwenqwelomoya. Ewe umoya ovuthuzayo ophakame kangako uthintele naliphi na ithuba lokuba yenzeke; abaninzi bakrokrela ukuba umoya wawuyingcamango ephefumlelweyo yokugqithisa ngokuqinisekileyo i-Chrysler Building eyi-1,046, kwaye isakhiwo esona side kunazo zonke emhlabeni.
Ukwenza igumbi, ihotele yokuqala yaseWaldorf-Astoria yakhatywa kuloo ndawo.
Ihotele yaseWaldorf-Astoria ehloniphekileyo kunye neyobumnandi yayiyimpumelelo yangoko xa yayiqala ukuvulwa kwiFifth Avenue ngo-1893, kodwa ubudala bayo bakhawuleza ukubhubha okungenakuthintelwa xa abaphuhlisi besixeko bathenga ii-acre ezimbini ngo-1929 ukuze bakhe i-Empire State Building. IWaldorf yafudukela kwindawo yayo yangoku yokumba ngaphezulu kwamangcwaba akwiPark Avenue (intsalela yawo yathuthwa yaya kwisiQithi seWadi), yaza yaba li icon yeArt Deco kanye njengokutshintshwa kwayo.
Isakhiwo sasinda kwingozi yenqwelomoya.
Ngenye intsasa kaJulayi ngo-1945, uLt Col. uWilliam Franklin Smith Jr. wayeqhuba i-B-25 ngenqwelomoya e-New York City xa wayenyanzelwa ukuba abhabhe asezantsi ukuze abonakale kwaye angena kwi-Empire State Building, ekrazula Umngxunya we-18-nge-20 yeenyawo kumgangatho we-78. Umlilo emva kokuba kuqhushumbe iitanki zepetroli kwabulala abantu abali-14 kwaza kwenzakala abanye abangama-26. Kwaxabisa i-1 yezigidi zeedola ukulungisa eso sakhiwo.
Kukho umgangatho we-103 wemfihlo we-VIPs.
Ngaphezulu komgangatho we-102-umgangatho we-Top Deck ufihla elinye igumbi elincinci, elingavumelekanga kuluntu jikelele. Ekuqaleni wakhawulwa njengenqanaba lokwehla kweenqwelo-moya ezixineneyo, umgangatho we-103, ofikelelekayo kwizinyuko ezimxinwa ukusuka kwi-102, wahlala kwinqanaba lokugcina iminyaka ngaphambi kokuba uvulwe kubamenywa abanethamsanqa- uninzi lwabantu abadumileyo kunye nabadumileyo- abathi, kanye xa ephezulu, baphathwe I-vertigo-inciphisa umbono ovulekileyo womoya wesiqithi saseManhattan.
Ngaphandle kobugcisa bobugcisa bobugcisa, kubiza ixabiso elingaphantsi kwalowo ulindelweyo.
I-Melika yayibaleka phantsi koxinzelelo lwe-Great Depression xa kwaqala ukwakhiwa ngo-1930. Ngokukhawuleza, isakhiwo sanyuka kunyaka omnye neentsuku ezingama-45 kwaye sasixabisa nje iidola ezingama-41 ezigidi, ngaphantsi kwesiqingatha seendleko eziqikelelweyo- into engenakwenzeka imigangatho yanamhlanje. Ngaphandle kwedilesi entsha enkulu nenomtsalane, esi sakhiwo sihleli phantse sineepesenti ezingama-80 singenamntu kangangexesha emva kokuvulwa ngokusesikweni kuba amashishini athwaxwa ngamaxesha ebengenakukwazi ukuhlawula irente.
