A penny dropped from the top of the Empire State Building could kill someone☠
When I first heard this, I was like - there is no way I am carrying a coin with me when I go up there, after all, I don't want to kill anyone (I don't want to be behind bars😜). But.... what if I was walking under the building and someone accidentally dropped the coin on me?😲 Well, looks like there's no problem if you read the complete post!!
According to Scientific American, a penny is too small and flat for it to gain enough natural momentum to make any kind of fatal impact. At most, if you were hit, it might feel like being flicked in the forehead "but not even very hard," Louis Bloomfield, a physicist at the University of Virginia, told Life's Little Mysteries via HuffPost.
