Description

Black and white 9 1/2″ x 14″ photo of a woman, identified as Evelyn McHale in the photo, who has plummeted from the Empire State building or a building next to it and landed on top of a parked car. The picture, taken from feet away from her head, shows it and her outstretched body and the damage done to the car as well as the curious heads of people gawking from the sidewalk. I find this picture interesting enough to place here due to the fact that it would offend countless groups now yet, in 1947, it was just interesting.
