If it's this easy to do, the terrorists wouldn't need to mess with explosives. Just leave a gas value open over the weekend and wait for the first person who shows up Monday morning to flip the switch.

Revlon is there (we used to have offices in that building)... and Estee Lauder is across the street.

We had a gas leak from some poorly done stove plumbing in my apt building on the Upper West Side once. I noticed it as soon as I walked into the lobby when I got home in the afternoon. I went around and found that it was coming from an apartment on the second floor, and I called the fire department and rang all the bells on that floor to see if there were any neighbors home.


You're lucky that; 1) There's still a floor there and 2) You didn't kill everyone - including yourself.

Michael Moore was in town?

Hadn't thought about that:

Michael Moore + Taco Bell Value Menu = deadly combination

"How about a Freeper rushing to post that the Pentagon and the White House say it is not terrorist activity.
(Personally I don't know how they can rule this out so quickly, but that's what they say)"

At this point in American life, a nuclear bomb could go off in mid-town Manhattan and the government would deny it as being terrorist related.

I doubt this incident is, but you're right.......the government issuing a no reponse so quickly makes you think or wonder just a little bit.

Revlon was client of mine a few years back. I remember them being located at 625 Madison, which is between 58th and 59th.

Pretty much agree. Just put a TSA Agent badge on Officer Barbrady and it'll be about right...

Actually he's not absolutely correct. As the second plan hit we were being told not to jump to conclusions. I always thought in that case it was understandable though. I had a hard time believing what I was seeing too.

You might examine the actual traffic of past "no terrorism" announcements. My recollection is that it is almost never the case that a named official immediately says, words to the effect of "we hereby declare that this is not terrorism."

Much more commonly, the news media corner somebody on the gov't payroll somewhere, badgers them with "Is it terrorism, huh, huh??" and reports "not that I know of" as "Gov't denies terrorism!"

I'm sure there are some cases to the contrary, but every time I have tried to drill down to source documents, that's what I find.

My husband had a normal sense of smell but he could NOT smell gas. For several mornings before he went to work he used his desk in the basement to work on income tax. One morning, I opened the basement door and yelled at him to get out of there because I could smell gas. He insisted that I was imagining it.

But he finally got out. The man from the gas company told me that if he had lit one of the cigarettes sitting on his desk, he would have been dead, and the house destroyed.

The one they rescued? Wow. If so, he obviously had a change of heart with him calling 911 from beneath the debris.

I understand that almost all survivors of attempted suicides state that as soon as they commit the act they fully realize and regret what they have done.

Now Fox is saying that his wife got an email from him with "the plan" in it.

Wow. I've heard of "if I can't have it she can't have it either," but this is carrying that just a little too far . . .

there MUST be a better way to keep the assets from the ex . . .
