  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: An aircraft incident at JFK Airport in Queens, a shooting at Macdonough St & Patchen Ave in Brooklyn, and a traffic alert at FDR Drive & Grand St in Manhattan.
  • The man who allegedly killed a man on D train last weekend—over a seat—was hospitalized yesterday.
  • Dubai proposed to delay debt payments, shaking the confidence of the region's investors. The proposal also "risked triggering the biggest sovereign default since Argentina in 2001."
  • The John Gotti Jr. jury gets a five-day Thanksgiving break—and the judge reminds them not to spill the beans during turkey gatherings.
  • Looking back at the Harlem of Sugar Ray Robinson.
  • Waldo Hunt, who re-popularized pop-up books after World War II, passed away at 88: "For decades the country’s leading producer of the books, he is widely credited with having taken a long dormant, long marginalized and long unprofitable publishing genre and making it a thriving, ubiquitous industry."
