 NEW YORK (AP) - Louis Esposito and his fellow electricians were taking down the mother of all Christmas trees — or lighting one giant Hanukkah candle, depending on how they looked at it.
At that moment, the best way to look at it was any way but down. "They say, 'Don't look down, and you're all right.' That's what I do," he said.
Lighting the top of the Empire State Building is a decades-old tradition that gives a special mark to Manhattan's famous skyline. This year, the process of choosing which occasions and causes to honor changed somewhat, but crafting the display remains a largely hands-on matter of wing nuts and elbow grease.
