The lower East Site of Manhattan from the Top of the Rock.  The Met Life building with Brooklyn in the background

The Met Life building was once also known, originally, as The Pan Am Building

The flat top roof was once used as a helicopter pad to deliver Pan Am flyers from the New York airports.  It was discontinued when one of the rotary blades flew off and killed a pedestrian on the street
