		The building incorporates a (literally) breathtaking array of sports activities: a golf range on the seventh floor, a basketball court on the eighth, a full-size sports swimming pool on the 12th (illuminated at night only by the underwater lights), a boxing ring on the 18th, as well as other health club-related activities.
		The building was the brain-child of John J. Raskob, the vice-precident of General Motors, who wanted this new building to exceed the height of the rival car manufacturer's Chrysler Building, still under construction when the plans were released on August 29, 1929.
		A testimony of the building's structural strength is the fact that when in July 1945 a twin-engined bomber crashed on the 79th floor of the building, killing fourteen people, the damage to the building was confined to the outer wall as well as fires inside, although one engine ripped right through the whole building.
