There were high winds and embers the size of baseballs were flying… even started a barge afire at Hoboken’s waterfront. It was freezing weather too!

I worked in the Empire State Building at the time and watched it from the windows on the 36th Floor. It was really amazing.

Not the best shot of this event. There is a pretty incredible set of pictures of this fire at the Firemen’s Museum @ 2nd and Bloomfield. What a fireball!

Oh Man I remember that day I was working across the Street in a Food Dist. Company, B & S Dairy. Not a very good memory. 411 has been putting up better pictures (Blast from the Past) this one is very Gray in my eyes!! I probably ran to the Bar back then during the Fire. Thank God I don’t Drink anymore but it is depressing enough to make you want to have a POP…LOL
