Apparently a Bell Jet Ranger helicopter suffered a tail rotor failure on take off and then crashed into New York's Hudson River. Although the pilot(s) survived 1 Brit was killed and three others hospitalised in the crash.
Much more depressingly though the Occupy Wall Street protest continues. This was inspite of the New York Police Department's (NYPD) creative attempt to end the protest on Saturday (1/10/11) by drawing the protesters onto the Brooklyn Bridge in order to arrest them all.
Of course the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu referenced the Brooklyn Bridge in his speech to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). This could have been a sign of cowardice or it could have been a call for help but it was a precursor for what I thought was the best joke of the entire meeting. Whilst talking about how small Israel is without the Occupied West Bank Netanyahu said something along the lines of;
"[Israel] is the distance between Battery Park and Columbia University and you have to remember that our neighbours are not as friendly as the people of Brooklyn and New Jersey."
At which point all those familiar with New York collectively thought;
"Well... New Jersey?!"
Which of course further made it look like the Jews where behind it all but really at that point I just thought the Israeli PM was starting to panic.
