The woman who jumped from the Empire State Building’s 86th floor and survived
At the time of the incident, Elvita Adams wasn’t the first person to jump from the Empire State Building.
Over 30 people had made suicide attempts from the 102‐story building on West 34th Street, New York and all had succeeded. The first occurred in 1931 when a man who had lost his job jumped from the 58th floor while the building was yet to be completed.
