Based on the Nerdist article, here's a summary:

To celebrate the Empire State Building's 93rd anniversary, a spectacular drone light show was staged, featuring King Kong. Using 1,000 drones, the 11-minute display recreated the iconic movie scene of the giant ape climbing the famous New York City skyscraper.

The drones formed King Kong's image, depicted him ascending the building, and even showed him swatting at planes near the spire, mimicking the climax of the original 1933 film. The event served as a modern, high-tech tribute to the building's long history and its enduring pop culture connection to the legendary movie monster.
