Man leaps to his death from 86th floor observation deck at Empire State Building

BY Sam Costanza, Kerry Burke and John Lauinger

A young man took a fatal plunge from the observation deck of the Empire State Building Tuesday night, police sources said.

The man took a running leap around 6:15 p.m. from the 86th floor observation deck - clearing a fence and then the building's outermost ledge, the sources said.

He landed with a sickening thud on a sidewalk along 34th St., near a bank branch at the northeast entrance of the famed midtown skyscraper.

"He came down in front of the Bank of America. Boom! It was an explosion," said Luis Mosquea, 28, who was manning the front entrance of a women's boutique across 34th St. from where the man landed.

"His body was shattered and his sneakers were scattered on the sidewalk," said Mosquea, recalling in horror how stunned pedestrians scampered in every direction to flee the nightmarish sight.

"One guy ran over and covered the body with an umbrella," he said. "It's crazy."
