Programming note: Empire on the National Geographic Channel on Sunday looks back at the 80 years of New York's Empire State building.


Empire Sunday on the National Geographic Channel (DStv 181) at 22:00 goes on a remarkable journey of exploration of the Empire State building in New York City, one of the most recognizable buildings in the world which just turned 80 years old.

Very close to it stands the new Tower One of the new World Trade Center and this remarkable documentary tells the fascinating story behind these two steel buildings and examines how skyscraper construction has changed in 80 years.
