Prisoners of Second Avenue

Andrew Garib, METRO New York | PDF | The Irish pubs that line Second Avenue did brisk business yesterday. Revelers bar-hopped while snapping photos of the accident scene [the fallen crane on 51st street which destroyed a townhouse and killed eight]. The second floor of the Pig ’n’ Whistle pub provided an unobstructed view into the back of what had been the townhouse.

"This is not entertaining at all," said Lauren M_...h, 23, who came down from Connecticut on Sunday. Yesterday she wore a green shirt with a shamrock for the occasion. She yelled at her friends on a cell phone: "Where are you? i’m sitting here in front of the destruction."

I did the bulk of the reporting for the adjacent article on the accident besides the AP stuff.
