Manhatten? WTF is Manhatten?

Two Dogs Farking: Manhatten? WTF is Manhatten?

It's that city popularized by that 80's band with the hit 'safety dance'

Wow, I didn't know Rescue 1 had a female Lieutenant! The FDNY sure has come a long way...

They collide where the missing "a" intersects wrong-way avenue "e", cut-and-paste-next-time-mitter

E) Not enough information provided by the question.

Was this greenlit to make fun of whoever posted it?

That's honestly what you have to say about these guys after reading this article?

Snark aside, best wishes. Get well soon.

This article highlights the need for highly coordinated responses.

Great, now I'm going to have that song stuck in my head all day.

I'd guess at the intersection with Powhatan Boulevard.

FTFA:"The emergency call to which the units were responding turned out to be a false alarm, officials said.

......
Meanwhile, officials told the Post firefighters pulled a woman with stab wounds from a different fire at nearly the same time as the Staten Island blaze. "


A false alarm is not a different fire, UPI.
But thanks for playing.

This one was awesome.

re-re-reads TFA.
OK, 2 fires and a false alarm.
But they write like hacks.

Submitter, I was going to be angry about the math type story problem but then I saw you misspell Manhattan and realized that New Yorkers are going to come out in droves to kick your ass. The only thing that makes them madder is tourists who stand on the left side of escalators. Oh man, never do that!

I don't know Manhatten. I know Mainhattan though. That's in Frankfurt.

I was told there would be no math

/jeeze, I have to do everything around here.

I'm in Queins so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

tbernot: beat me to it!

i thought it was an article associated with that vid til i saw the date.

There's also a subject-verb disagreement in there.

I saw this as it happanned, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

And sadly, the firefighter who was injured in the Staten Island fire did not survive his injuries.

the crew in question:


/Is it just me, or has there been a lot of fire truck crashes in the news lately?

sbutler:

I LOL'd.

I came in here for a screen-cap of Kramer manning the rear steering station.

Six firefighters on a truck are racing down a Manhatten street while another firetruck with six firefighters are also racing down a Manhatten street: At what point will they collide?



"Are the ambulances African or European?"

I was at the scene last night and talked with one of the firefighters. They said there were some concussions, but that was about it.

Way to go FDNY.

Never, because Manhatten doesn't exist.

You can never achieve speed of over 35 mph on a Manhatten street. That must have been a world record.

How close is Manhatten to the Bornx? I'm going to be in Time Square soon and would love to visit.

There are some grammar issues with that headline.

This happens alot in large citys when trucks from differnt stations respond to the same call.

The crash site, of course.

tbernot: This one was awesome.

Is it just me, or is there a lot of this going on these days?

Do the fire-persons think that their sirens make them immune to the laws of physics?

MAN

HAT

TAN

MC O'Brien: MAN

HAT

TAN

Is that anywhere near Baltimora?

Hmmm... poor spelling, poor grammar... which of those trucks were you in, Subby?

That's interesting. I've never heard of a place on the planet Earth called "Manhatten". Now I have heard of a place called "Manhattan".

opiumpoopy: Do the fire-persons think that their sirens make them immune to the laws of physics?

The problem is that when you have your siren on, you can't hear the other guy's siren.

Are they going oppasite directians?

Was going to say "where Eest End Evenue crosses over the A trane."

/yes, I know.

You all give me hope that the English language isn't dying....

*sniff*

/hates when people say 'unthawed'

Here in MA, we had a young firefighter crash his rig recently. Not responding to an emergency. He happened to have a civilian female on board. Link (new window)

FrancoFile: I came in here for a screen-cap of Kramer manning the rear steering station tiller.

FTFY.

And if that accident occurred where I work, there would have been only three peopele involved.

Under-staffing FTW!!

Did anyone else get a crazy ad of a poorly shopped Obama head attached to a dancing trench coat?

FTA: An eye witness at the scene was quoted as saying, "I'm sitting there, minding my own business ya know, when I see this fire truck haulin' ass down the street. No big deal though, I'm from New York and we see crap like this all the time. Then I see this other truck haulin' ass right toward the other one and I says to Vito 'They're gonna crash!.' So I'm expecting this loud bang, but they're full of water so when they hit all you hear is *DOUCHE!*"
