There were 2 stories that I didn't see. I should probably pay more attention to "general news," but so much of it is insane.
The first is about exploding sidewalks. Caught on video: NYC manhole explosion causes sidewalk to buckle.
The sidewalk exploded, throwing bits of concrete up into the air. No one was hurt. (The embedded video below includes the security camera video of the event.) That happened on Friday the 13th of September.
Then a contractor drilled a hole through the ventilation duct of The Queens–Midtown Tunnel, that connects Midtown Manhattan with Queens under the East River. This caused the tunnel to be shut down. The embedded video below also contains a section on what that leak looked like, before they got it fixed. NYC river water floods into Queens Midtown Tunnel, snarling traffic and terrifying drivers.
MTA CEO Janno Lieber said a city-funded private contractor caused the damage while drilling to find pylons for the East River greenway and that the hole in the roof was 2½ inches in diameter, according to Fox News.
That happened on September 4th.
This is the Cash Jordan video NYC Sidewalks are Exploding… Why?
Neglect is the real thing that we're fighting against here.
