`
`Empire State Building wears Communist
`colors this week
`
`4- return to Water Cooler (/blog/watercooler/)
`
`By Kerry Picket (/staff/kerry-picket/) The Washington Times - September 30, 2009, 11:02AM
`
`The Empire State building is commemorating the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China by
`flooding the upper parts of the city's tallest sky scraper in red and yellow lights (representing the Chinese
`flag). The lighting for this event will last from tonight until October 1 at 10 a.m. The New York City
`landmark is owned by Malkin Real Estate Entities
`(http://wvvw.cityfeet.com/PressRe|ease/PressReleaseDetai|.aspx?PartnerPath=&ld=3698).
`
`This particular lighting event is particularly disturbing, though. Why is this New York City skyscraper
`celebrating the rise of communism in China?Loca| Republican activists are not impressed with the latest
`move. New York Young Republican Club (http://nyyrc.com/) president Lynn Krogh told the Washington
`Times, :
`
`SEE RELATED:
`
`"The Chinese communist revolution ushered in a violent and repressive regime that has continued
`
`to unapologetically commit a laundry list of human rights violations for decades. To have a New
`York City landmark honor an event that produced a 20 to 30 million death toll during the cultural
`revolution is an insult to Americans who value freedom and to the Chinese people who have
`suffered under Communist rule.’’

`
`Empire State Bu'lding wears Comminisi colors this week - Washington Times
`
`
`
`The Tiananmen Square massacre's twenty year anniversaryjust happened this pastjune. Did the Empire
`
`State Building bother remembering those who were slaughtered by the Chinese Communist regime?
`
`No. Onjune 4, 2009, the 20th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, the Empire State Building
`
`celebrated (http://www.esbnyc.com/tourism/tourism_|ightingschedu|e.cfm?
`
`CFID=35469558&CFTOKEN=44910364) the New York Racing Association, Belmont Stakes with the colors
`
`green and white instead. Apparently, celebrating death and tyranny is more important than those who
`
`die fighting for freedom.
`
`The Washington Times contacted the public relations office of the Empire State building and is waiting
`
`for a response.

`“I was doing a handstand on the table when the cops broke the door down.”
`
`There’s just no resisting a story that starts like that. And that’s how Ernie Sisto would hook an
`
`audience. He was as good a storyteller as he was a photographer. And, like all good
`photographers, he was equipped for any situation.
`
`When being introduced to someone, he might say, “We went to different schools together.” To
`
`an offhand remark, he’d reply, “Well, you don’t have to get mad about it.” If you were having a
`conversation with him, he’d glance over your shoulder and wave. Of course, you’d turn to see
`
`who was there. No one. Turning back, you’d find Ernie taking a satisfied puff on his stubby
`
`cigar.

`
`would give his pants a special hitch, the signal for Ernie to position his camera and get a leg up
`
`on the competition.
`
`Casey Stengel would not have approved — had he known —— but in 1949, he posed for Ernie and
`
`The Associated Press with a baseball taking the place of a crystal ball, as if he were predicting
`the outcome of the season.
`
`After nearly 50 years with The New York Times, Ernie retired in 1972. He had won a bevy of
`
`awards, mentored dozens of photographers and repaired a mountain of colleagues’ watches,
`
`eyeglasses, radios, televisions and just about any other gadget they would drag in. He invented
`
`the Sisto-Gun, the first flash synchronization for the Speed Graphic shutter. And he was a
`
`master of Big Bertha, a rapid-fire monster of a camera used mostly at sporting events. He came
`
`up with rare photos of a solar eclipse in 1954 that no one else managed to capture.
`
`“I never took a great picture, but I took a lot of good ones,” Ernie would often say. It didn’t
`
`happen to be true. He knew how to hook an audience, taking many great pictures that
`
`illuminated the American timeline. He straddled a cable to shoot a bird’s—eye view of the Bronx-

`
`Whitestone Bridge. He shot a ceremony taking place at the base of the Statue of Liberty from
`
`the torch, with the statues crown creating a remarkable design. He followed street urchins, in
`
`knickers, chasing down a line of elephants walking, nose to tail, toward the old Madison Square
`Garden.
`
`Ernie’s most challenging moment arrived the morning of July 28, 1945, when a B-25 bomber
`
`lost in a dense fog crashed into the Empire State Building, tearing a hole into the 78th and 79th
`
`floors, killing 14 people. Ernie worked his way through the fire and police lines, boarded an
`
`elevator commandeered by emergency workers, exited on the 67th floor and climbed up to the
`
`gaping hole, shot some images and then continued higher, to the 86th floor. He persuaded two
`
`other photographers to hold onto his legs while he hung out over a parapet on a precarious
`
`perch overlooking the gash. From there he snapped his Page 1 trophy.
`
`The other photographers, not interested in repeating Ernie’s derring-do, passed him their film
`
`holders and he shot an image for each of them. He would say later, “Those guys won a lot of
`
`prizes with my picture.” He was half joking.
`
`Librado Romero, a staffphotographer at The Times, is examining some of the images he
`
`cherishes most — ones big and small in scope, but all enormous influences on his work. In
`
`some cases, he will revisit the scene of a photo; in others, he’ll discuss the story behind the

`Yale student plunged from Empire State Building
`Published 10:36 am. Friday. April 2, 2010
`
`5? NEW YORK (AP) -- A Yale University junior left
`a suicide note in his dorm room before heading
`to New York, where he apparently plunged to
`his death by jumping from the Empire State
`
`Building, police said Wednesday. Cameron Dabaghi, 21, from Austin, Texas,
`
`jumped from the 86th floor observation deck
`Tuesday during evening rush hour. His note
`said he was sorry and he would be jumping
`from either the George Washington Bridge over
`the Hudson River in upper Manhattan, or the
`Empire State building, police said.

`
`There were seven other people on the
`observation deck at the same time, and one
`person tried to talk to the jumper as he climbed
`over the barrier, but was unsuccessful.
`
`Dabaghi was dead when rescue workers arrived
`at the 1o2—stoIy skyscraper shortly before 6:30
`p.m. He was a student in Berkeley College,
`majoring in East Asian studies. The college dean
`was meeting with students Wednesday, and
`counselors were available at the university to
`anyone who needed them.
`
`"Yale is extending support to Cameron's family,
`roommates and friends at this most difficult
`
`time," the university said in a statement.
`
`The Empire State Building is the third-tallest
`building in the United States. More than 30
`people have committed suicide at the building since it opened in 1931. The most recent one
`occurred in January 2009, when a 54-year-old woman died after jumping from the 39th floor
`and landing on the 25th floor.
`
`The skyscraper reaches 1,454 feet to the top of its lightning rod.

`What irks the former is that the latter would rise to be 1,216 feet, almost as tall as the

`“The question here is: How close is too close to one of New York’s iconic landmarks,”
`Councilman Daniel R. Garodnick said Monday, after a hearing in which the owners of
`both properties made their cases, in advance of a City Council vote on Wednesday.
`
`“Is this going to swallow up the Empire State Building,” Mr. Garodnick asked, “or are we
`just talking about another big building a couple of avenues away?”
`
`The owners of the Empire State Building, Anthony E. and , even want a 17-
`block no-go zone surrounding their 1,250-foot tall tower. This would prevent Vornado
`Realty Trust, which wants to erect the new building on Seventh Avenue, or any other
`developer, from putting up a similarly oversize building in the zone.
