Long Island




Garden City Hotel evacuated


The Garden City Hotel was evacuated this afternoon after a man wearing a surgical mask entered the lobby and spilled an unknown liquid on the ground, according to reports from the scene.

The New York Rangers -- staying at the hotel for tonight's Islanders game -- were evacuated with all the other guests.

There have been no reported injuries. The man fled the scene in a red Toyota.

Thanks for the ping. I heard it on the radio on my commute home and just checked in to post it. I should have known you guys would be on the ball, as always.

Is this a signal for attacks on sports?

The OK bomb at the stadium and now the hotel where the players are staying.

Your report on the man puring out fluid at the hotel, sticks with me.

Odds are that he poured out nothing more than water, but he made the news, did a test run and sure sent a message to all of how easy it will be to act, when ready to do so.

He might have freaked the ball team, and bet heavily on the other side of the game, sure easier than breaking the knees of a ball player as they did in the old days.

I would even accept that it was only to show what a real terrorist would do.

20 years ago, some people wanted guards on the County dump, as it was wide open and anything could be dumped there.

The County was at the time paying a company who said they were guarding the dump.

A man who lived in the country and had to haul his water, in the 5 gallon plastic bottles that are for sale here, tested the dump.

Mac, took a newspaper reporter and went to the dump, he dumped his water supply in the dump and the reporter took half the front page with a perfect photo of Mac doing so.

Mac dumped water, but anything could have been in the containers.

Needless to say the dump is now under lock and key and guarded for real.
