Fire in NY subway tunnel cripples subway line for "3 to 5 years". Wow.

You see that NYC transit has also been under financial restraints... They mention how they've been planning for computerized switches for years, but that most of capital spending is done on basic maintenance. That, in one of the richest cities in the world, if not THE richest city.

fantastic butchery for Eid.

(I posting it mostly because of the scale of killing, the pictures, and what some of the people say... Although I'm mostly vegan, the act of killing an animal does not particularly affect me. Maybe because my parents were so casually manipulating meat and animal carcasses when I grew up...)
