- From the Gothamist Newsmap: A robbery in transit at West 34th Street & 6th Avenue in Manhattan, a car in the wood on the Saw Mill Pkwy at the city line in the Bronx, and an aircraft crash (cargo plane) at JFK Airport.
- The American ambassador to Serbia emphasized how the victim of alleged upstate attacker Miladin Kovacevic is doing poorly, noting that Bryan Steinhauer "weighs less than 99 pounds and is unable to eat" (he was around 130 pounds previously) and "remains in a coma after 2-1/2 months."
- A baby fell four stories from a Queens building's window, but luckily "two balls in a backyard stairwell" absorbed the impact and saved her life.
- Mayor Bloomberg has offered to throw Hillary Clinton a welcome back party--hey, Bloomberg, she'd probably appreciate it if you help relieve her debt more.
- A Long Island woman was arrested after the police, responding to a neighbor's 911 call, found her children starving and living amid, per the neighbor, "garbage on the floor, dog feces, urine, rotted food, bugs, flies..."
- Take a trip down memory lane with the Shop-Rite Can Can commercial.
- Look at fifteen different ways NYC has been destroyed by way of Hollywood.
- Sometimes the high-tech R160 trains are very confused and confusing.
- And thousands of people like Stuff White People Like enough to buy the book.

In a related story, a man was found passed out holding his crotch at the bottom of a stairwell in Queens.

You beat me to it Eyekant.
On another note... Hillary wants relief on her campaign debt. Get a life Hillary. If I go to Atlantic City and blow a mil plus because I feel lucky, do you come to my relief? If Obama gets elected, and if he feels generous, he will make you ambassador to Appalachia. Bill will be assigned to Small Rock as a special representative for future interns.

Well, now I've got the can-can commercial stuck in my head. Thanks.

I find no information anywhere on the cargo plane "crash" at JFK. Not even on airliners.net, which is very comprehensive and up-to-date. My guess is that it was a minor incident that was a crash in the sense that a dusting of snow is a blizzard.

I think the thought of a confused subway train is really cute. It sounds like a children's book.

@Peter--I think a cargo plane hit another object, causing a damage to the plane.

Why should Hillary turn around and expecting to be bailed out of her debt by a rich man (Bloomberg)? That's a kind of misogynistic scenario.
Where are her female supporters when she needs them? They can spit a lot of vitriol about their dream being stolen by a younger upstart man, but let's see them spit up some money! Now that she's lost, they've all deserted her.

I guess she's getting her just desserts.
