Once a woman tried to commit suicide by jumping off the Empire State Building. She jumped from the 86th floor but was blown back to the 85th floor by a strong gust of wind . That woman name is Elvita Adams.
Elvita Adams was not the only individual to decide to leap from the Empire State Building at the time of the incident. Over 25 individuals attempted suicide from the 102-story skyscraper on New York's West 34th Street.
The first incidence happened in 1931, when the structure was still under construction. A guy hurled himself from the 58th storey of the building after losing his job.
With the stories of these people jumping to their deaths from the top of a prominent New York City skyscraper, Elvita Adams could have assumed that picking the same structure, which has a roof that is around 1,250 feet tall, would have the same result. But then, by some miracle, something unexpected happened.
She was heartbroken. She'd lost her job and was surviving on government assistance, which wasn't enough to pay her rent and care for her 10-year-old kid.
Faced with eviction and unsure of what to do, a dejected and despondent Adams decided to commit himself by leaping from the building's 86th story.
