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.

 
RoyBatty 2008-11-23 02:16:35 PM  
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.

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

 
eddyatwork [TotalFark] 2008-11-23 02:18:29 PM  
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!

 
Paris1127 [TotalFark] 2008-11-23 02:20:16 PM  
I don't know Manhatten. I know Mainhattan though. That's in Frankfurt.

 
Man On Fire 2008-11-23 02:20:43 PM  
I was told there would be no math

/jeeze, I have to do everything around here.

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

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

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.

 
Xomber 2008-11-23 02:52:38 PM  
Never, because Manhatten doesn't exist.

 
Funk Brothers 2008-11-23 03:06:36 PM  
You can never achieve speed of over 35 mph on a Manhatten street. That must have been a world record.

 
The Dread Pirate Robertson 2008-11-23 03:07:17 PM  
How close is Manhatten to the Bornx? I'm going to be in Time Square soon and would love to visit.

 
eraser8 2008-11-23 03:14:43 PM  
There are some grammar issues with that headline.

 
walnuts55 [TotalFark] 2008-11-23 03:21:00 PM  
This happens alot in large citys when trucks from differnt stations respond to the same call.

 
greyfox 2008-11-23 03:23:35 PM  
The crash site, of course.

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?

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

 
Goodfella 2008-11-23 03:51:30 PM  
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".

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.

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)

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!*"
