Extraordinary coverage from so many Site members - thanks to everyone, and especially The Chief. And continued prayers for the deceased, the survivors and those who helped them.
 
Just a bit of trivia for that area, when the fireboat John H. Glenn was put in service (1962) it was berthed at the foot of 154 street by Powells Cove Blvd. by the former Tropicana orange juice plant. As a youngster I used to see the big white freighter "Tropicana", loaded with oranges, cruising on the East River towards Whitestone from where I lived in College Point. Later in years, the "Glenn" was moved to new quarters at Fort Totten. I don't recall in what year the Tropicana plant moved out. In the same area many years prior there was a fire at the LeHarve apartments on Powells Cove Blvd. around 162 street. L144 had a 75' FWD wooden aerial and it was too short to reach the fire floor. There was a large community outcry about this and 144 was given a 100' rig. I don't recall what brand of rig it was i.e. Mack or otherwise.
