How news travels
When I went out to the mailbox yesterday afternoon, I saw a New York Police helicopter flying low and fast along the waterfront, with two police boats following as fast as they could. By the time I got to the hardware store, I found out what they were doing. "Somebody drove a car into the Hudson River in Weehawken," a Hoboken pedestrian was telling a friend. He was almost right. The car didn't quite make it into the water: it landed on some rocks along the river's edge, which gave the driver one more chance to reconsider. He didn't choose life, however: he dove into the water. Rescuers got him out, but it was too late.
I tried to find the story last night, but nobody had reported it yet. This morning, however, both the New York Daily News and New Jersey Journal are on the case.
