Baris 35: == Layanan helikopter == Sebelumnya di gedung ini terdapat layanan [[helikopter]] menuju terminal Pan Am di [[Bandar Udara Internasional John F. Kennedy]], sebuah penerbangan berdurasi 7-10 menit dari [[helipad]] di puncak bangunan. Penerbangan [[New York Airways]] Vertol 107 berlangsung sejak 21 Desember 1965 hingga 18 Februari 1968; penerbangan S-61 beroperasi selama beberapa bulan pada tahun 1977, berakhir setelah sebuah kecelakaan di atas bangunan menewaskan lima orang.<ref>Schneider, Daniel B. [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C0CE2D6143EF936A15754C0A96F958260 "F.Y.I."], July 25, 1999. Accessed September 30, 2007. "Q. Back in the 1960s and 1970s, helicopters bound for Kennedy International Airport used to take off from a deck atop the old Pan Am Building. Why was the service halted? A. As many as 360 helicopter flights a day were planned by New York Airways after the 59-story Pan Am building was completed in 1963, but a bitter public outcry delayed the first few flights until Dec. 21, 1965.... The operation proved unprofitable, however, since the helicopters carried an average of only eight passengers, and the heliport, which had cost $1 million to build, closed in 1968.... After another round of hearings -- and renewed protests -- flights resumed in February 1977. Three months later, the landing gear on one of the Sikorsky S-61 helicopters collapsed while passengers were boarding, flipping it on its side and sending a 20-foot rotor blade skidding across the roof and over the west parapet wall. Within hours, the heliport was closed indefinitely."</ref><ref>Hudson, Edward.

"Helicopter operations from the 59-story roof of the Pan Am Building were suspended last night as a result of a dispute over the future financial support of the operation by Pan American World Airways."</ref> Pada 16 Mei 1977, satu menit setelah [[Sikorsky S-61L]] mendarat dan 20 penumpangnya keluar, [[roda pendaratan]] kanan depan patah, sehingga menyebabkan helikopter jatuh ke kanan dengan [[baling-baling]] yang masih berputar. Satu dari lima baling sepanjang 20 kaki patah dan terbang ke kerumunan penumpang yang menunggu untuk naik. Tiga pria tewas seketika dan satu orang lainnya meninggal kemudian di rumah sakit. Baling tersebut jatuh dan menewaskan seorang pejalan kaki di sudut [[Madison Avenue]] dan [[43rd Street (Manhattan)\|43rd Street]]. Dua orang lainnya luka parah.<ref>NTSB.
