FIREBALL ON THE SKYLINE By HEIDI SINGER, TATIANA DELIGIANNAKIS and KATE SHEEHY - New York Post Online Edition: news

FIREBALL ON THE SKYLINE By HEIDI SINGER, TATIANA DELIGIANNAKIS and KATE SHEEHY - New York Post Online Edition: news

And, as always, the New York Post has the most inflammatory coverage including unsubstantiated "eyewitness" accounts such as this: "Witness Sean Vegezzi told The Post that he and some pals ran to the former terminal with their cameras at around 10 a.m. after hearing about the blaze and scurried up to one of the buildings' rooftops to take photos.
There, he said, they spotted a man pouring what looked like flammable motor oil into an elevator shaft. "

Hopefully time will sort out this story and the arson angle, but the damage has been done, and these beautiful 120 year old warehouses, where the Civil War ship USS Monitor was built, are damaged beyond repair.
