Manhattan and the Bronx would be uninhabitable if the accident-prone Indian Point nuke plant suffered a Chernobyl-like disaster, an environmental group charged Monday.

Particularly with the Bronx, would anyone notice the difference?

“An accident at an Indian Point reactor on the scale of the recent catastrophe in Japan could cause a swath of land down to the George Washington Bridge to be uninhabitable for generations due to radiation contamination,” NRDC says.

If a 9.6 earthquake and tsunami hit NYC on the scale of the disaster in Japan, they would still be arguing over where to start rebuilding 30 years from now, and which unions get the payoffs. idiots.

Preface by saying that I posted this story as an example of media bias.

The Bronx is an easy target for jokes, but there are actually several wonderful parts to it, including the New York Botanical Garden, the Zoo (rechristened by liberals the Wildlife Conservation Preserve, so that it sounds less fun to kids), Riverside Heights, Pelham Bay, Fordham University, Arthur Avenue (home of the real Little Italy), Woodlawn, Van Cortland Park, City Island, and... Yankee Stadium (home of the 27 time world champions). I'm a little defensive, because I went to school there.
