Dear Friend,
I would like to inform you that Frank Sinatra Drive is currently closed from 4th – 12th streets while rescue workers continue to aid in the recovery effort of Saturday’s plane and helicopter crash. Recovery workers are currently trying to pull the plane out of the Hudson, as well as recover the bodies of the last two crash victims.
I want to thank the rescue workers for all of their hard work and efforts. Currently there are six recovery boats and numerous divers in the river working to secure the plane. These workers could use donations of water, Gatorade, and/or ice. On Sunday alone, rescue workers went through 20 cases of water. I ask that you please consider donating these supplies. You can drop off your donations at the rescue station located at the entrance to Frank Sinatra Drive between 11th and 12th Streets.
In addition, I would also like to thank Benny Tudino’s for assisting me in supplying lunch and water to the workers yesterday.
