NotifyNYC Tweets, "Movie filming today, 10AM-3PM at Plymouth St and Adams St in BK will include simulated gunfire. NYPD and FDNY will be on site." We actually think it's for a TV show—we saw the vans for the CBS drama Blue Bloods a few blocks away—and now we're wondering if Magnum P.I. (Tom Selleck is playing the NYC Police Commissioner) himself will be there! more ›

From the city's Office of Emergency Management: "There will be a flyover involving nine airplanes near the Statue of Liberty beginning at 10:00 AM this morning. The airplanes will enter New York Harbor, fly over the Verrazano Bridge, pass the Statue of Liberty, and continue north above the Hudson River." (It's Air Force Week in NYC!) more ›

A reader in Midtown emailed us earlier in the day, "I swear I was just walking along W. 47th st. near 11th ave and saw a WWII era bomber fly over head?" We think this is the answer: According to CBS 2, there was apparently a fly-over by a 1958 DC-7 this morning—and there will be two more, one on Friday and one on Saturday. Today's plane "was to travel south over the Hudson River to the Verrazano Bridge, then east toward Long Island, before returning to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. The same route is to be used Friday and Saturday." more ›

According to NotifyNYC, "Flyovers 7/4 between 6PM-8:30 PM associated with fireworks: an American flag display, military fighter jets, and NYPD helicopters." Also from NotifyNYC, "ConEd responding to a power outage in the Bay Terrace and Ft. Totten sections of QN. Call 1-800-752-6633 to report loss of power" and "NY State DEC has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for NYC until 10 PM tonight. Visit http://bit.ly/cPgtFx for more info." more ›

Yesterday, the Office of Emergency Management sent out an alert: "The Port Authority of NY/NJ will be conducting an evacuation drill at the World Trade Center excavation site on Wednesday June 30th at approximately 9:15 PM. You may hear a loud tone and verbal alert in the vicinity of the PATH Station and Mezzanine area at the time of the drill." Last year, the OEM, NYPD, FDNY, Port Authority, and other agencies had an emergency rescue drill at the WTC PATH station, complete with "injured passengers." more ›

Notify NYC says, "Starting today and continuing until Thursday 5/27, two small airplanes will be doing low level flyovers in the vicinity of the Statue of Liberty." more ›

See any military planes downtown? Well, this alert explains some: "Teterboro Airport in New Jersey is hosting a military air show from 9/17/09 through 9/19/09. Expect military aircraft flyovers above the New York Harbor and the Hudson River." more ›

READINGS: Russell Simmons has written a self-help book and will be at Border's today promoting it (okay, now all of this recent noise he's making makes more sense)! It's called "Do You! 12 Laws to Access the Power in You to Achieve Happiness and Success." None of the laws include any of these three words. more ›
