It crashed into the offices of the Catholic War Relief Services on a foggy Saturday and the building was patched up and reopened on that Monday. An elevator operator was thrown out the open doors of the elevator and emergency responders placed her in a different elevator car which was damaged in the crash so it fell 900 feet to the basement and she still survived.
