New York Harbor's Dirty Little Secrets





We all know what lies beneath New York. But is there anything cool to be found underneath New York Harbor? How about a freight train, a giraffe skeleton, $26 million in silver bars, ice cream trucks, and lots and lots of dead people!

(And of course, until recently, that airplane that landed on the Hudson River.)

Check out the whole list of underwater sites here. Though I wouldn't recommend hopping into your dive suit for a closer look. Apparently there's a whole lotta sewage floating around out there, too.

Irregular Kiki: Remember yesterday, when I was at your house and we said/typed the same comment? But did my comment go through? Because I said the same thing as you? Did Ms Miller think I was being mean? Nooo, how can i ben evil to my bestest friend. I'm a fluffy chicken O_o

BC: Sometimes comments are accidentally duplicated, so I usually delete one of them. I must have seen two comments that looked alike and figured that's what happened. I didn't realize they were from two different people or I wouldn't have erased one! Sorry about that!

Oh, now I understand :) Because we both have a weird sense of humor we thought it'd be funny to post the same thing. Hehe. It's ok!
