Answer:

In 1945 a U.S. Air Force bomber accidentally crashed into the Empire State Building, killing fourteen people and damaging the 78th and 79th floors.

Step-by-step explanation:

When writing a summary, we should include all the most important facts, mentioning side information only if it is of the matter for the subject/question. The reader of the summary should be notified by reading what is the main point of the text, so going into detail is not advisable for a summary.

In the given summaries, only the first one covers what really matters: when the event took place, who was responsible, what was the target of the accident, how many people perished, what was damaged in a material sense.

In three other potential summaries, perished people were not even mentioned, and losing those people were the worst side of this accident.
