    7/7/26 Manhattan Collapse Box 790

    In many ways, this can be attributed to Mayor Mamdani’s newly released “Block by Block - The Housing Plan for a New Era,” which proposes $22 billion in capital investment over five years to build 200,000 new affordable homes and preserve 200,000 more. The plan also allocates $5.6 billion to...

    7/7/26 Manhattan Collapse Box 790

    Cliff Johnson of Steamfitters Local 638, who was working inside the building, told PIX11 News that his members were inside when the structure began to fail. “The general contractor chose to go non‑union for this project. All we want is responsible construction in the City of New York,” Johnson...

    7/7/26 Manhattan Collapse Box 790

    I think the initial use of drones would be better to evaluate whether or not it was safe enough to put even one member on those floors to evaluate the situation. Worst case scenario - I'd rather chance losing two or three $50,000 drones than ONE member if even a partial collapse would occur.

    7/7/26 Manhattan Collapse Box 790

    Buckled columns with 10 stories above, and sagging floors from 22-26. I would hope those SOC brothers were quickly removed in favor of surviellance by drones instead. They moved staging back an additional block for safety, but had three companies with no actual engineering expertise inspecting...

    7/3/26 Queens 10-77 Box 4456

    LOL I bought my high school graduation suit in Robert Hall. And used to (literally) live in Lafayette Electronics just west of the armory. I had my '67 Chevy Caprice Classic, SS 427, 385 hp serviced in McGrotty. The only antipollution device was a PCV valve!

    7/5/26 Queens 10-75 Box 8834

    That would be right. Also, is that L136 and L129 correct? There are at least 4 truck co.s closer unless there was a concurrent operation nearby

    Brooklyn Bridge catches fire during fireworks display 7-4-26

    I like how the bridge structure wasn't at all involved, but the dumb NY Post writes that the bridge "caught" fire,

    FREEPORT NY (Nassau Co) Working Fire 7/1/26

    Passing through Freeport from Baldwin, picked up the transmissions. Thought I was listening to a progress report from an Old School FDNY Field Comm. Most likely radio discipline was groomed by a former Rescue 1 F/F Paul H. Surrounding properties, 2 lines S/O primaries conducted, negative...
