The Empire State Building

Recorded September 14, 2008. The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street. Its name is derived from the nickname for the state of New York. It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972. Following the destruction of the World Trade Center in 2001, the Empire State Building once again became the tallest building in New York City and New York State. The Empire State Building is the second tallest skyscraper in the Americas (surpassed only by the Sears Tower) and the 9th tallest in the World. It is also the 4th tallest freestanding structure in the Americas and the 12th tallest in the world. In 1964, floodlights were added to illuminate the top of the building at night, in colors chosen to match seasonal and other events, such as St. Patrick's Day and Christmas. The floodlights bathed the building in red, white, and blue for several months after the destruction of the World Trade Center. The Empire State Building has one of the most popular outdoor observatories in the world, having been visited by over 110 million people. The 86th-floor observation deck offers impressive 360-degree views of the city. There is a second observation deck on the 102nd floor that is open to the public. It is completely enclosed and much smaller than the first one. From: timvp.com

It has floors all the way up. We were building it at the time. He is talking about how to make the stairs so that they get out on the right place on each floor. I might put up a server with the map or post the file eventually. We placed all of the pieces manually, and built it first with a frame of the building, then we added windows, floors, stairs, rooms. If you think I used a map editor, please consider this: Omen, in its state when the video was made, was essentially ms-paint for minecraft. If you want to imagine how much more complicated it would have been to make this in a map editor, go into ms-paint, choose the 1 pixel wide pencil, and draw 400 individual pictures of the cross-section layers via clicking pixel-by-pixel, all being aligned with the last image, and to the exact size and layout of the building here.
