More context, Empire State Building is 380m without the spire, 443m with spire and antenna.

I really hate/love that is is what actually put the size of those container ships in perspective for me. I've seen the massive liquid natural gas tankers and those things are terrifying big but like... I still didn't get the scale of these. Thanks sci-fi (look you guys that box set of TOS pays off irl!!!) 🤪

(Fr tho, anyone else have that set with the plastic curved cases with one of the uniform colors for each season? Prtty curves, infuriating snag-the-case,drop-the-DVD-on-the-floor-and-swear-and-snag-the-insert-pamphlet-closing-it-up-every-singlegoddang-time. But prtty curves)
