It´s a bit misleading to use 10 as earth's gravity and the full height of the empire state building instead of the height of the last floor in the beginning. Other than that, great vid, it really helped me with a physics assignment.

What about one of those Australian $1, 000, 000 gold coins? I bet that'd be fatal.

Amazing we were only debating this the other day in work. We guessed that it would ago about 30 mph so not far off! Nice to know I can cite your video next time the question is raised!
