Hmmmm

[AbolishCSEU]

Sounds Rainbow Bridgesque—except for the multitudes of gas cans.

Did we ever get some kind of ‘final word’ on what happened?

[mewzilla]

Cans...canisters...

Local coverage...

Is Kodak still a thing?

...FBI confirms they’re investigating responsible...

no but the name lingers on

I think the FBI kinda “lost” the evidence, the police pictures and reports and the vehicle that is missing from the impound lot. Around here somewhere.
But “There is definitely no connection to terrorism” “We are reaching out as we have no suspects or leads and have no idea what took place.” “But no terrorism.”

Auto accidents a federal issue now?

[Dutch Boy]

Before our company’s covid WFH policy, I drove past that building twice a day for decades. It’s 35 mph and 3 lanes each way. There have been some odd accidents on that stretch, some resulting in death. The dozen gas cans are a new twist.

Apparently...on Amazon.

FBI probably put him up to it.

It’s now a theatre for entertainment.

“Is Kodak still a thing?”

Ironically, there are no photos of the crash scene.

Sounds anti-Semitic with the large Jewish population Rochester has.

“You press the button, we do the rest”

People are still driving @55 mph westbound even though the limit dropped to 30 mph about a quarter mile back. That part of the city is all ghetto besides.

Yeah, entirely possible.

There are some vestiges of the company left, and they still make some film. At one time Kodak employed 60,000 people in rochester. Last I knew that figure stood at a couple thousand.

Who else would have a “concert” that ends at 1am ? You can’t even get a pizza past 8 PM because your parlor will get robbed. Rochester ain’t what it used to be.

[Does so]

Ektachrome is relatively easy to develop at home. It was my favorite for outdoor photography, but on the “blue side” of the spectrum, although blue does help for longevity. (Against fading).
