"People got out literally with the skin of their teeth."

damn. i'm glad they could at least manage to take the skin of their teeth with them

Damn! That is farking scary.

I heard the pigeons also escaped with the skin of their teeth.

"My god! My god! Us residents of that building were able only to egress with, to borrow an antiquated metaphor, the skin of their teeth!"

The building at 493 Myrtle Ave, which houses Vesper Bar and Lounge on the first floor and three stories of apartments above, started to shake moments before the collapse, allowing residents to dash to safety, witnesses said.

Dang. Too slow.

It was clearly a controlled demolition. And where was Bush during all this? I'll bet he was reading to some schoolchildren. He's obviously in on the conspiracy.

I bet they won't find any parts of the airplane, will they. WILL THEY?!?

SpinStopper: I bet they won't find any parts of the airplane, will they. WILL THEY?!?

No, but there are some parts that look suspiciously like parts of a missile. I think the CIA was involved.

GAT_00: SpinStopper: I bet they won't find any parts of the airplane, will they. WILL THEY?!?

No, but there are some parts that look suspiciously like parts of a missile. I think the CIA was involved.

Not to mention the quick cleanup and lack of of updated pics in the last 3 hours.

I admit it's a pretty decent play and one worth dying to preserve.

/never understood the third act

too soon!!!

Damn, can't Hulk Hogan leave this city alone already?

I'm surprised no one's mentioning the puffs of smoke that are clearly from a controlled demolition.

/And the glowing puddle of thermite in the basement

Google street view shows a big vertical crack in that building. Or so another site represented it as the collapsed building.

A CYA posting.

I heard the Jews living in the building were told to no be there at the time it collapsed.

An apartment building collapsing in greater NYC would've been a non-story prior to about 1900.

I knew I shouldn't have put in the dollar for the extended session in that magic fingers bed

I thought steel frame buildings could not collapse.

Brooklyn is such a farking attention whore.

Those are fake survivors. The real ones are being held in a government warehouse.

Wait a sec, I thought when buildings fell in NYC, they fell down perfectly on top of itself!

I mean, 8 years ago TWO buildings did that, and they were literally 440 times taller!!

ha!!
/just sayin...

Does this count as Iran Thread XXXVIII?

Uh oh, that's a few blocks away from me!

A friend of mine was coming out of the grocery store across the street when this happened. Surreal.

ftfy- this IS a smaller scale, after all.

MetaCarpal: A friend of mine was coming out of the grocery store across the street when this happened. Surreal.

I'll pray for her.

Pechoran, if a guy named Nguyen lived in the building, I guarantee you no joos did.

In that neighborhood, they're pretty insular. They don't share their apartment buildings with anyone.

I just got off the phone with Rudy Giuliani
He's staging a comeback

Look at that, right down into its own footprint.

And where'd all the brick go? You'd expect to see a 4 storey pile of rubble there!

Clearly a controlled demolition.

screw her, pray for Omarion!

It was not immediately clear if the week's heavy rains contributed to the crash, officials said.

So It didn't fall.

/Got nothing

The conspiracy theories will only begin once the building across the street suddenly collapses several hours later, and is reported to have collapsed several minutes before it actually does.

(our costume director was none too pleased that the show involves a dinosaur.)

in all seriousness, the article was chilling-- thank God no one was killed. If the collapse had occurred at 3am, say... whole different story.

6/21 was an inside job.

It's not widely known, but jews don't have skin on their teeth.

I walk past that building on the way to the subway.

With my luck, I would've walked right past it today if I wasn't out of town

Thats an 827: http://themoderatevoice.com/36315/google-street-view-shows-a-crack/

...is that SFW?

I saw the collapsed Brooklyn building take off from Logan Airport, so I was emotionally involved in 6/21.

And, you know, you can't close the doors when the walls cave in.

Fact: All the Jewish residents were warned ahead of time not to go into their apartments!

Damn. I was just on a different site telling someone just what I think of their crackpot conspiracy theories and then I get on Fark and this is the first thread I go to.

Coincidence? I think not!

LavenderWolf: Look at that, right down into its own footprint.

You must have been shocked to see you failed the apples/oranges portion of your kindergarten finals.

Man, I've had a long weekend. I read it and thought it was in Boston.

Seriously. WTF. I read the fark'in article and still thought it was Boston.

FTA: Ahn Nguyen, 28, who lives on the building's third floor, was not home at the time of the collapse but lost "everything," he said.

Definitely a Jew, there's something going on here. Why was he not home at the time of the collapse?

kuranes: Uh oh, that's a few blocks away from me!

A few blocks away from, me, too. I'm in the Taaffe Lofts

Guaranteed that the slumlord will be saying "But but but didn't know ehhh" or somesuch.

A single muslim in a small Middle Eastern country danced a brief jig and then resumed daily life.

Pechorin: 6/21 was an inside job.

Obama knew about it in advance and did nothing!

Haha, just wait for the condo that'll take its place.
