BETTY LOU ($59,000 – $70,000)

On July 28, 1945, 20-year-old, Betty-Lou Oliver arrived at the Empire State Building to start her regular shift as an elevator attendant. She could never have imagined what the next few hours had in store for her!

World War II was ending, and a B-25 service bomber was delivering servicemen from Massachusetts to LaGuardia Airport, in NYC.

Flying in thick fog, the pilot asked for permission to land but the tower at LaGuardia instructed him not to do so. Even so, the captain ignored the order and disoriented by the fog, made a turn – right above mid-town Manhattan.

Moments later, that same B-25 crashed into the Empire State Building – causing massive destruction.

Betty-Lou was thrown from her elevator – suffering a broken pelvis, back and neck!

First responders made their way to the 79th floor and pushed Betty-Lou’s stretcher into another elevator – unaware that parts of the plane’s engine had weakened its cables! When those cables snapped, Betty-Lou plunged 75 stories!

Incredibly, the 1,000 feet of cable had broken away and fallen to the base of the elevator shaft – providing a ‘cushion of sorts’ for the free-falling elevator.

Although she suffered additional injuries, 8 months later, Betty-Lou had completely recovered from the harrowing ordeal!

What does all of this have to do with Match and Fable’s newest mandate?

Nothing at all!
