    The Race to the Top of New York City's Skyline: The History of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 160min
    Of all the great cities in the world, few personify their country like New York City. As America's largest city and best known immigration gateway into the country, the Big Apple represents the beauty, diversity and sheer strength of the United States, a global financial center that has enticed people chasing the "American Dream" for centuries. Given that history, it's no surprise that New Yorkers have always wanted to construct the biggest and best structures possible, even in the early 1930s at the height of the Great Depression. Indeed, those years produced the Empire State Building, which remains the city's most iconic building, but New York's most famous skyscraper wouldn't have been possible without the Chrysler Building, a landmark in its own right that was the tallest building in the world for nearly a year before its more famous counterpart's completion. In fact, the spirit of competition between the groups working on the two buildings helped ensure that both look like they do today, and the Chrysler Building only reached the height it did because a large skyscraper at 40 Wall Street was also trying to claim the mantle of tallest building at the same time. The Chrysler Building was the first man-made object to surpass 1,000 feet in height, and while it has been surpassed by considerably taller projects since, it remains the largest steel-supported brick building in the world. As its name suggests, the Chrysler Building was named after Walter P. Chrysler, who ran the car company at the time, and yet his corporation never owned the building because he cherished it so much that he personally paid for the skyscraper and kept it in his family. ungekürzt.

    The Unkillable Nik
    Ladies and gentlemen! It's the man you've all been waiting for! Put your hands together for the one and only, NITROOOOOO NIK!" The audience was booming with excitement. The electricity in the environment was incredible, nothing like what Nik has done in a long time. He turns to the crowd, as an idea plants into his brain. Close your eyes. Nik thinks quickly, and just goes for it. He climbed to the tallest tower, pushed aside some props, as he leaped. What Nik didn't know was that there was no water at the bottom, but instead, three different people who were standing in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yet, it was still too easy for him. He is ...not able to be killed.

    The Chrysler Building: The History of One of New York City's Most Famous Landmarks , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
    I would give the greatest sunset in the world for one sight of New York's skyline. The shapes and the thought that made them. The sky over New York and the will of man made visible.... Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would like to throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body. - Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead Of all the great cities in the world, few personify their country like New York City.
