After leaping from the Empire State Building’s observation deck, a woman made it out alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elvita Adams visited the famous Empire State Building in New York City on December 2, 1979, and bought an observation deck ticket.
She reached the 86th floor deck, which is located 1,050 feet above the earth, at about 8.30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She jumped, climbed over a safety fence, and escaped the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams had experienced severe hardships in her life, to the point where she made the terrible decision to take her own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of suicide attempts, including Adams’s, would have been fatal at that height.<\/p>\n\n\n

Adams, however, was fortunate enough to survive the fall and was taken to the hospital right away for medical attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the encounter, she was transported for a psychological assessment and it was discovered that she had a shattered hip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, how did she make it through the fall?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams did not fall all the way to the pavement below, despite having leaped from a height of 1,050 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazingly, Adams was grabbed by a draft of wind right as she leaped.<\/p>\n\n\n

She was forced onto one of the Empire State Building’s several ledges by this, and the 29-year-old ended up landing on one just one floor below the viewing deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was situated around twenty feet below the deck from whence she had leaped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A security guard inside the building noticed her on the ledge and reported her missing. George Reice, the observatory’s night supervisor, said that at approximately 8:15 p.m., a guard responded to cries for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams was hauled back inside to safety and taken to Bellevue hospital as other people raced to assist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams survived the event because of the building’s art deco style, which included numerous ledges and setbacks, as well as the wind draft.<\/p>\n\n\n

No one witnessed Adams jump, according to a New York Times story, although “usually four guards patrol the 86th-floor observation deck.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also stated that an eight-foot-tall iron spike fence surrounds the deck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the deck’s prior suicide attempts, this had been put in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What transpired to Adams following her survival is unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
