The fire in Edgewater NJ was huge.

I saw it last night on the News and went to bed not realizing how big of a fire it was.

Sad to see so many people loose their homes in a matter of hours.

I think it was the second time that building was involved in a fire.

They were investigating whether or not any of the plumbing or maintenance work done had anything to do with the fire when I read article last night. Haven't looked for an update. Any new info?

It looked like a timber box burning.

Over four hundred people displaced.

I did not think structures housing so many people could burn like that, whats up with the fire codes in that area?

This guy should have been arrested Ten years ago.

Fire chief, interviewed on TV, said the construction was flimsy, especially the roof supports.

Measles outbreak here in CA which started out in Disneyland and Calif Adventure during Christmas break. The problem here is that many people did NOT vaccinate their children with the MMR vaccines fearing it will cause autism and this preventable disease is now spreading. Getting two MMR vaccines gives a person a 99% success rate against this disease but now many residents are at risk because of the stupidity of some of these parents to not have their kids vaccinated.

I wonder if the vaccine has ever changed over the years or is the same exact formular we received as children or since its been developed.

Re: the Edgewater fire. News here said 1,000 people displaced. There was a similar fire years ago when they were building condos along the Hudson River. I remember as a kid driving along River Rd. It was nothing but old warehouses and docks. In the past 20 years it became upscale river front residential properties. Somewhere along the line firewalls were no longer a requirement. cha-ching.

I read that the maintenance workers were using a blowtorch welding starting the fire accidentally. The sad part is that instead of calling 911 immediately they waited to put a call into their supervisor first. Bad decision.

Edgewater was a dump but now it's prime property. Beautiful skyline view of the city.

Al Capone Died in Miami on this date in 1947, he was 48 years old.

The city will pay $5 million to the elderly mother of Nicholas Guido, an innocent victim slain on Christmas Day 1986 by hit men acting on bogus information from Mafia Cops Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa, the Daily News has learned.

Guido was a 26-year-old telephone installer when he was gunned down outside his Park Slope home while showing off his brand new car to his uncle.

The traitorous Eppolito and Caracappa had passed the name “Nicholas Guido” to then-Luchese underboss Anthony (Gaspipe) Casso who was seeking retribution against the shooters who tried and failed to whack him.

After Eppolito and Caracappa were convicted of participating in eight gangland murders, including Guido’s, city lawyers under the Bloomberg administration fought tooth-and-nail to dismiss the lawsuits filed by six of their victims.

But the gridlock was broken after Brooklyn Federal Judge Raymond Dearie ruled last fall that the wrongful death case could go to trial, citing sufficient evidence that the victims would not have been killed had Eppolito been fired in the mid-1980s for leaking confidential documents to a gangster.

A spokesman for the city Law Department said, “After evaluating all the facts, it was determined that settling the case was in the City’s best interest.

Wow. I remember that like it was yesterday. $5 million after all these years seems pretty inadequate.

It does. The mother is 87 years old now. Very sad.


"Guido threw himself on his uncle saving his life — but his own father died of a broken heart and Pipitone never got over the senseless killing of her beloved son."

Interesting, I always thought that was this kid but after reading this now I see the guy in this image is Tuzzio.

At least six people have died after a Metro-North train collided a motor vehicle at an intersection in Valhalla, according to the MTA.
A black Jeep Cherokee was struck on Track 2 by the 5:44 p.m. northbound train from Grand Central due southeast at 7:08 at the Commerce Street crossing. The train shoved the car about 10 train car lengths north.
The MTA says the female driver of the car was struck and killed, along with at least five customers on board the train.
Customers self-evacuated to the rear of the train. About 400 customers were taken to a local rock-climbing gym for shelter.
Officials say the gates came down on top of the vehicle, which was stopped on the tracks.

Geez DuesPaid, you're like one of the mainstream media stations, always talking about depressing shit haha

Huge 20+ wreck on NJ Turnpike exit 8.

Trucks bus and many cars involved, one death reported.

CBS 60 Minutes reporter Bob Simon died in car accident.

This article caught my eye. A TV that may be capturing your conversations.

http://www.cnet.com/news/samsungs-warning-our-smart-tvs-record-your-living-room-chatter/

I will never buy a t.v. like that.

Lol they said the same thing about the Xbox One. Actually, strictly technically speaking, it's very possible to do using your laptop, smartphone, tablet, anything if a hacker or the feds really wanted to.

Next your TV will be watching while you having sex and give that info to "third parties" who will sell it to porn websites, all of which you have agreed to by signing (without reading) the 20-page terms and conditions of use. Somewhere in there in microscopic letters is the disclaimer which you agreed to. Be afraid, be very afraid.

Really they said that about Xbox too?. I like my privacy so anytime I read about how a product or company can follow what I buy, watch, say, wear, or consume it catches my eye. I was using strictly cash for awhile so that my debit card would not be on file for hackers to get info from me or stores to follow what I purchase. That didn't last too long. I'm back using my card again.

Ha ha ha ha be afraid of the TV recording your sex life. That was so funny Malandrino. I love your sense of humor.

Lol, thanks. Well we might laugh and exaggerate but it's not that far from the truth. Companies already do this kinda thing, and they're the only ones who profit.
They bombard you with 30 pages of contract where the most important line is deep somewhere in there in microscopic font. If you choose to read it and waste an hour of their time you risk looking like a hardass, and if you don't, you're basically a mindless fool.
They're pretty crafty I'll tell you that

Bad train wreck over in LA area, Ventura County.

Yea, it's been on news all morning. How awful!!



TIS

Just saw pics of the Train crash, what a mess.

Kayla Mueller, the young humanitarian activist who was murdered by ISIS, is from my hometown, and her family lives here. The tragedy hit home hard. Thousands of people gathered at our Court House Square to honor her and her family, and money and other support are pouring into a foundation set up by her family.

I thought her family made a mistake when they agreed to be interviewed by Savannah Guthrie of NBC-TV (aired yesterday). All NBC was interested in was to exploit their grief for higher ratings.

Man shoots neighbor's dogs on his property and posts pics on social media

sorry to hear about that.

NEVER a good idea for families of tragedy to agree to press so soon after the event.

Very Sad.
