At Christmas, Christians celebrate the day when poor little carpenter Joseph was happy to be a father. The staff and directors of The New York Times never thought that they would be the headlines of the media around the world on this day.
The New York Fire Department drove to 229 West 43rd Street in Times Square. The firefighters were neatly dressed and rushed into the 18-story building with water pipes. They thought they were here to fight the fire, but who knew they were here to wash the shit.
This is really never seen before.
It was cold in New York at the end of December, but the reporters and editors of The Times who worked in the building were all sullen, took off their coats and wrapped blankets and walked out of the building. There is sadness and suffering on everyone's face.
The uncrowned kings of the "Times" always focus their cameras on others and ask all kinds of weird and tricky questions. But today, when they walked out of the newspaper headquarters building, a group of colleagues came outside and stared at them.
Those eyes were clearly gloating.
The cameraman of the local TV station pointed the machine at the crowd walking out of the building, and the fellow reporter stood in front of the camera, clutching the microphone and reporting on the spot in an exaggerated tone.
"OMG! Christmas this year is really a special day. People in front of the TV, you will never think of what I am going through.
I was planning to spend a warm night with my family, but the phone in the station was forcibly called, and the boss said to me, "Hey, Mike, you must go to Times Square now. Where is the big news?"
do you know? I hate the big holiday news, which disturbs my family gatherings. But I had no choice but to put on my coat and leave home. On the way I was driving, I was thinking about what big news was. Is the New York Times on fire
But when I rushed to the scene to figure out the situation..."
The expression of the reporter at the scene became extremely exaggerated at this moment, he shouted: "OMG, OMG, OMG! You can't imagine what I saw and heard, the situation on the scene is terrible. My brain can't organize speech. Because ... .."
The reporter took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "The toilet at the headquarters of the "New York Times" burst. Not one toilet, but all the toilets burst.
Yes, I know you may be having dinner.
You will be shocked, in a daze, and feel that the apple pie and roast turkey on the table suddenly disappear. But the reality is what you think, the whole building has now become a super big shit pit. "
Hahahahaha...
Vomiting Vomiting Vomiting...
I don't know how many viewers are watching the live broadcast, but there are indeed many people whose holiday mood is mixed. If bursting a toilet is a tragedy, bursting all toilets is definitely a comedy!
The New York Times had to announce the suspension of publication for three days, and they had to take some time to clean up their headquarters building. Because every floor of the building, every office, every bathroom is the hardest hit area.
The ceiling, floor, walls, and air are all heavily polluted. The sewage pipes are all broken. The septic tank at the bottom of the building is even more tragic.
This kind of office environment can't wait at all, and the staff of The Times can only be evacuated. They will never think about Christmas Eve in their lives.
The fire department rushed in and quickly withdrew, even the rigorously trained warriors could not bear it. Before escaping, they only held on for less than three minutes in the deep and shallow hell.
After a long period of tossing, the Sanitation Department in New York drove a clean vehicle to come to the emergency. The health department also sent an ambulance to help resettle the trapped people at the scene.
Reporters from several TV stations rushed to the scene and set up long and short cannons and aimed them at the bottom exit of the "Times" building. At this moment, a group of "Times" staff members filed out wrapped in blankets, and reporters stepped forward in spite of the blockade.
"Oh, I saw Mr. Bratton. I know him and I have a very good relationship with him. I think I can go up and interview him.
Mr. Bratton, can you answer a few questions? What happened in the building? What caused the toilet to spray manure? Are there any casualties
Sir, say something. The entire New York and even the entire United States are paying attention to you. The American people have the right to know. Talk about your own feelings. What happened to you? "
The staff in the building didn't want to speak at all, and didn't want to say more than a word.
The reporter could only turn to the camera and shook his head: "It seems that Mr. Bratton is in a bad mood. We left without taking care of him. I can understand, really understand. I don't want to speak anymore.
I actually have to thank him for not being interviewed. Because the moment I approached him, my nose and lungs were severely injured.
I can't breathe, I can't take a mouthful. It was a bad night, and we have deep sympathy for Mr. Bratton and his colleagues in The New York Times. "
The reporter said sympathy, but there was no sympathy on his face.
Since there was no fire and no people trapped, the fire department personnel quickly withdrew. They said that this work is not in their control and that they are not professional in dealing with feces and piss.
People from the sanitation department appeared on the stage with a bitter and hatred expression, mainly holding water pipes to wash everywhere and draining sewage into the sewer.
During this period, the staff of The Times had to find a way to rescue office equipment and materials from the filth. This is really a terrible job, because it is difficult for them to judge how valuable a piece of valuable information is after it is full of shit.
In the end, it can only be classified as garbage.
When the fire department personnel left, reporters from the TV station rushed to interview, mainly asking about the situation in the building.
The firefighters took off the insulated helmets, frowned, shook their heads and sighed: "We didn't find the injured, but the situation in the building is terrible. All floors are disgusting, and the place can't be stayed.
It will take at least a week to complete the cleanup, and it will only take two to three months to renovate. During this period, reporters from The Times had to find another place to work. At present, it is not convenient to make too many comments, and the police need to intervene in the investigation. "
Firefighters have seen many disaster scenes and have sufficient psychological quality to face tragic accidents. But spraying manure on the toilet in the whole building really doesn't count. I've seen this for the first time.
"The New York Times" happened such a big event, the New York City Police Department also sent police officers to the scene. The reporters went to the police who besieged the scene to ask for an interview and asked the same question.
The police only said they would conduct an in-depth investigation, and they were very cautious in their words. However, someone entered the building and made comments to the media in the name of'informed people'.
"As far as the situation is currently seen, we tend to sabotage maliciously, otherwise it is impossible for all sewage pipelines to have problems.
This is probably a bad prank. It is suspected that someone has thrown a tiny amount of explosive device into the toilet. Technicians have found some evidence from the scene, such as fragments of explosive devices. "
The reporters immediately asked: "How did the police find evidence from the scene?"
"It's the way you think. This time the criminal is really bad. Not only did he miserable the "New York Times", he also killed the New York Police Department.
Insufficient technical staff, we had to send additional police to look for clues in the extremely disgusting environment. So don't let us catch that guy, or we must clean him up. This shit bomber is really bad and disgusting. "
The reporter immediately caught the nickname that the police gave to the possible suspect. The next day, the headlines of the major media were all with the same name-the bomber blasted the New York Times!
