Fact 1:

It would take 11 Empire State Buildings, stacked one on top of the other, to measure the Gulf of Mexico at its deepest point.

Test:

The Empire State building is 1250ft at peak, the Gulf of Mexico’s lowest point is 14,383ft.

So…

14383/1250 = 11.5064

Conclusion:

It would take 11 1/2 (approximately) Empire State Building’s to reach the deepest point of the Gulf of Mexico.
