A fire has engulfed part of a New York City train bridge used to protect the bridge from passing boats. According to reports, a malfunctioning transformer may have caused the fire late this morning.
The fire has caused major train delays coming in and out of Grand Central Station. According to ABC News, no injuries were reported and the fire department said marine units were “hitting the fire” with water.
Smoke from the blaze could be seen as far away as New Jersey:

Posted on September 21, 2010 at 8:54amIs it such a slow news day that a burning pier is such a big deal. It is just a bunch of pine logs coated in kreosote driven into the river bed. Come one people

Posted on September 20, 2010 at 11:31pmThe U.S.A. has forgot, or don’t care anymore. The Evil Ones are still out there and it’s just a matter of time. There are just testing the good old U.S.A., and when we a hit, maybe it won’t be the BIG ONE. So keep fighting each other over which side is right or wrong. Reminds me of the Civil War. Only this time WE ALL LOSE.
