Isn’t it curious, that these loaded trucks have no trouble crossing that lot, while parking for cars was refused in the past because of risk of collapse?
Onlookers continue to come by to gaze and take photos. Children walk and bike by even though a large amount of debris is still present.
The asbestos sign on the fence has been removed, even though debris is still being constantly moved around.
This job is being paid for by the White Whale owner.
KINGS OF LEON (“Last Mile Home”)
“And the lights are swinging in the smoke
I’m a fool for conversation
And I’ve got nowhere to go….”
Why do these ‘horrific accident(s)”, the major spring fires, always seem to happen at sites where there are plans for future development?
…”a horrific accident”….. What caused the “accident”?
Editor’s note: George—– The investigation was performed by the Monmouth County Prosecutors’ Office. I called the media spokesman for the Office and that is what he said.
You may recall that some vagrants had been seen under the building where the fire began, but evidently there is no evidence of arson.
My experience with fire investigations around here is that they almost never find arson, and they don’t say much for public consumption.
The exception is probably The Warrington fire where there was evidence of arson. Paul
