We've been so distracted with the national disaster coverage as of late, we completely forgot to keep vigilant regarding the issues in our own fair city. Worry not, however, for we've got more fuel for the NYC IS EDGY fire!

Yesterday afternoon, the Franklin Avenue shuttle jumped off the tracks near the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, leaving the 62 passengers to wade through toxic waters, waiting for a dramatic helicopter rescue. MTA is still investigating the cause of the accident but, as the shuttle was conductorless, we aren't expecting any conclusive answers.

Yeah, OK, so maybe we're not that edgy right now. But, dammit, we tried.
