Two people have survived jumps, in both cases by not managing to fall more than a floor: On December 2, 1979, Elvita Adams jumped from the 86th floor, only to be blown back onto the 85th floor by a gust of wind and left with a broken hip.On April 25, 2013, a man, who is presumed to have jumped, fell from the 86th floor observation deck but landed alive on an 85th floor ledge - where security guards managed to bring him inside; he suffered only minor injuries.
Suicide attempts
Over the years, more than thirty people have attempted suicide, most successfully, by jumping from the upper parts of the building.[39] The first suicide occurred even before its completion, by a worker who had been laid off. The fence around the observatory terrace was put up in 1947 after five people tried to jump during a three-week span.[40]
On May 1, 1947, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the 86th floor observation deck and landed on a limousine parked at the curb. Photography student Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale's oddly intact corpse a few minutes after her death. The police found a suicide note among possessions she left on the observation deck: "He is much better off without me ... I wouldn't make a good wife for anybody". The photo ran in the May 12, 1947 edition of Life magazine, and is often referred to as "The Most Beautiful Suicide". It was later used by visual artist Andy Warhol in one of his prints entitled Suicide (Fallen Body).
In December 1943, ex-United States Navy gunner's mate William Lloyd Rambo jumped to his death, landing amidst Christmas shoppers on the street below.
Only one person has jumped from the upper observatory: on November 3, 1932, Frederick Eckert, of Astoria, ran past a guard in the enclosed 102nd floor gallery and jumped a gate leading to an outdoor catwalk intended for dirigible passengers. Eckert's body landed on the roof of the 86th floor observation promenade.
The exact jumping people is a lot more I!ll think and we will know.

Shootings
Since construction stared on the Empire State Building in 1929 more than 30 people have committed suicide by jumping off the building. In an eerily similar incident to Wednesday's leaper, a woman in 1979 attempted suicide by jumping off the 86th floor, only to be blown back onto the 85th floor by a gust of wind and left with a broken hip.
