NY Post: Water from the East River flowed into the the Queens Midtown Tunnel Wednesday afternoon after a drilling contractor accidentally punched a hole in the roof and caused a deluge that terrified drivers, according to officials and shocking video.
Workers were doing “investigative work related to the design of the upcoming UN esplanade project” when they punctured a hole in the edge of the tunnel, Josh Kraus of the New York City Economic Development Corporation said at a press conference.
The busy passageway sprung a leak in the south tube on the Queens side at around 12:30 p.m., prompting officials to close it for roughly 45 minutes. more
East River water. Will they offer free decontamination and medical care?
If I was driving in a tunnel, underneath a river, and a significant amount of water came flowing in, I think I would be justifiably concerned. In fact I might get the hell out of there ASAP.
Supposed to be joe6pak.
I fail to see the down-side of this;
Queens and New York certainly deserve a total cleansing.
No doubt due to global warming.
fuck NYC, let’s hope it sinks into the Atlantic from whence it came.
