Safety Guidelines for Viewing the Solar Eclipse in NYC

When it comes to celestial events, there's nothing quite as mesmerizing as a solar eclipse. However, viewing this natural spectacle requires certain precautions, especially in places like New York City where the path of totality doesn't pass directly. A solar eclipse occurs when the moon aligns itself between the Earth and the sun, blocking the sun's light and casting a shadow on our planet. This celestial spectacle is a rare occurrence, making it a highly anticipated event for both astronomy enthusiasts and casual observers. The path of totality refers to the narrow strip where observers can witness a total solar eclipse. Unfortunately, New York City doesn't fall within this path for the upcoming event. Cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Lake Placid, and Plattsburgh in New Yo...

Man Arrested for Cocaine Smuggling in Jumbo Shrimp at JFK Airport

In a shocking turn of events, Zacharie Scott, a 22-year-old US citizen residing in Guyana, was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City for his alleged involvement in smuggling cocaine. What sets this case apart is the method he chose to conceal the illicit substance - inside bags of frozen jumbo shrimp. On a seemingly ordinary day, Zacharie Scott arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport via an American Airlines flight from Guyana. Little did he know that his plans to bring illicit drugs into the United States would soon be foiled. As Scott went through the routine customs screening process, his two suitcases were selected for a secondary inspection. Customs and Border Protection officers, trained to detect suspicious activities, discovered loose clothi...

Hundreds of migrants avoided the limits in NYC by dropping down in New Jersey

To get around new regulations the mayor enacted to try and reduce the enormous volume of migrants being delivered to the city, several buses carrying migrants to New York City are using transit hubs in New Jersey. Mayor Eric Adams of New York City issued an order last week requiring charter bus companies that transport migrants to the city to give NYC emergency management officials passenger manifests along with the anticipated drop-off times and locations at least 32 hours before the migrants arrive. Adams's order came in reaction to a months-long attempt by Republican-dominated states like Texas to transport tens of thousands of migrants and asylum seekers by bus and airplane to large cities headed by Democratic mayors, frequently with little or no assistance. According to a new...
