"Shooting experts say the fatal shot at a world-record distance of 11,316 feet underscores how stunningly sophisticated military snipers are becoming."

Ok, then. So make that 11,316 divided by 1,454 (height of ESB) = 7.7 Empire State Buildings

Correction: For a “visual”, that’s very nearly EIGHT(8) Empire State Buildings!

2.2 miles = 2.2 x 5,280 (feet in a mile) = 11,616 feet

For a “visual”, that’s very nearly NINE(9) Empire State Buildings!

ESB: height to tip of antenna: 1,454 feet

11,616 divided by 1,454 = 7.9889
