Turns Out I Almost Died

Wed Jul 18, 2007, 10:10 PM

I can't recall the exact number, but supposedly due to neglect over the past seven years (hmm, what happened seven years ago?), our national and urban infrastructure has been greatly weakened, and would cost trillions to bring back up to code.

Yesterday I was outside Grand Central at about 540, and five minutes later the intersection I was standing at literally blew up (due to infrastructure failure: [link]).

Makes you really appreciate serendipity.

I hope you are all well!

Cheers.

A group of us left work (37th st) at 6 to hit the Heartland Brewery and were met with tons of people walking around covered in ash. You were lucky!

Haha... I was thinking "gee, I need to get to Grand Central..." There wasn't any warning to the accident, it just happened. It's sad but fortunate that only one person died. That is a very busy area.
